Juventus, redemption problem: the plan for Nico Gonzalez and the various redundancies to be managed
The Juventus market is heating up, mainly because of decisions related to the redemptions of a number of players. In the foreground, the future of Nico Gonzalez represents a problem for the market della Juvandntus. The Argentinian midfielder, in loan to Atletico Madrid with a buyback obligation set at €32 million, but with a clause that diventwill validonly upon reaching 21 appearances of at least 45 minutes each. At present, thea situationis incerta, since the Colchoneros seem intent on evitarand chand this condition si attivi, aiming to renegotiate the figure downward. This possible choice, complicates the plans of the Bianconeri management, which could ritrorvarsi the player to Continassa at the beginning of the new season.
The Douglas Luiz situation also appears far from simple. With his move to Aston Villa in January after a loan at Nottingham Forest, Juventus had to waive the obligation to buy him back, settling for a simple option right. In fact, the erratic performance shown by the Brazilian in recent outings is prompting the English club not to exercise the redemption at the initially agreed figures. Although the valuation of the player’s card is around 25 million euros, the main danger is to see him return to Continassa as well, without, however, already having a new immediate accommodation.
In addition to the players mentioned above, the management must also work on some returns no longer in the plans. The most complex case remains that of Arthur, whose hefty salary holds back any possible future sale of him. Joining him are also Joao Mario, on loan at Bologna, and Daniele Rugani, returning from Fiorentina. If for the Portuguese, the experience at Bologna has been positive so far, the same cannot be said for the Italian defender, who after a negative debut against Udinese, seems to have ended up on the fringes of the Viola’s technical project.
