It’s time to clarify, to give an initial direction to the market. What is coming is not only the week of the announcement of Thiago Motta as the new coach of Juventus, it will also be the decisive days to define the future of two top players in the squad: Chiesa and Rabiot. Giuntoli wants to control the game and knows well that it would not be useful to prolong the game, considering that some moves should then materialize by the end of the month (see the exchange between McKennie and Douglas Luiz).

Chiesa seems to be the most expendable of the squad: Juve is unable to guarantee the status the player is asking for. Even before an economic question, it is made a principle of logic: the characteristics of the player, in fact, do not adapt well to Thiago Motta’s project, consequently the club is not able to secure Chiesa by promising him to be central in the new cycle. Radamani is expected in Italy in the next few days to take stock of the situation and meet some clubs that could be interested in the player: it could be a transfer opportunity for many, in Italy and abroad. Giuntoli has not exposed himself for now: Rome and Naples have only made tentative moves, but some clearer directions for the future could soon emerge.
RABIOT

Same need, but with the opposite assumption, as far as Rabiot is concerned. Who would be the ideal midfielder for Thiago Motta, but it is not yet certain that Juve can keep him. The club has already made its offer (two-year contract plus another year optioned to objectives, with salary in line with what it received up to a year ago and subject to tax benefits thanks to the extension of the Growth Decree) and is now awaiting a response from the player . Giuntoli, however, would not like to go beyond the promise of the midfielder, who had indicated the start of the European Championship to clarify his future. In fact, if the agreement with Rabiot fell through, the negotiations with Aston Villa for Douglas Luiz would inevitably be accelerated: even if Thiago Motta’s plan A includes both in the midfield.
