Juve is now only thinking about selling: the young talent is also gone, the fans will be furious at the latest market developments
The complex market operation between Juventus and theAston Villawhich involves Douglas Luiz, Weston McKennie And Samuel Iling-Junior, continues to remain at a standstill. Despite the efforts of the management of both teams, an agreement has not yet been reached.
Negotiations are ongoing to find alternative solutions, including potential technical quid pro quos to be included in the deal. The main obstacles appear to arise from the personal agreement between McKennie and the English club, with disagreements on the contractual conditions.
In the past weeks, the parties have defined the figures of the operation, with an adjustment that should fluctuate between 18 and 20 million euros in favor of Aston Villa. However, for now, there are too many points on which there is still no agreement.
Aston Villa would have liked to include Matias Soule in the negotiation, but Juve evaluated the Argentine 40 million euros. Roma would also be interested in him, but they would not be willing to pay that amount.
Rabiot question
Meanwhile Juventus presented Adrien Rabiot with a two-year renewal offer with an option for a third year, worth 7.5 million euros per season. At the moment, the French player and his mother-agent, Veronique, have not yet made a definitive decision and seem to want to gain time to evaluate other possibilities.
At the same time, Milan expressed interest in Rabiot, contacting Veronique to explore the possibility of a transfer. The financial demands for the midfielder’s salary seem high for the Rossoneri club.
Loan or counterpart?
There Juventus is currently looking for a new destination for the young defender Tommaso Barbieriafter having counter-redeemed it from Pisa For 3.1 million euros. Among the teams interested in the 2002 class there are Bologna And Venice, with the latter potentially welcoming the player on loan for next season. The possibility of a transfer to Serie A is an important growth opportunity for Barbieri, after a good year in Serie B with Pisa, where he accumulated 31 appearances, 3 goals and 3 assists.
Giuntoli in the meantime, he is considering the use of Barbieri as trading pawn in various market negotiations. His card could in fact be inserted to lower Atalanta’s demands in the negotiation for Teun Koopmeiners or to facilitate the acquisition of Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, a defender that the Bianconeri have been following for some time.
