This season, Juventus have four players on the books who are currently on loan at various Premier League clubs.
Dejan Kulusevski joined Tottenham Hotspur in January 2022, while Arthur Melo and Denis Zakaria signed for Liverpool and Chelsea respectively on last summer’s transfer deadline day. Finally, Weston McKennie made the switch to Leeds United last winter.
Obviously, all of these players have been deemed as surplus to requirements in Turin, which prompted their exits in the first place.
However, a report claims that they could return in mass next summer, as their clubs could opt against singing them on a permanent basis.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport (via JuventusNews24) explains, this would be a major financial blow for Juventus who would miss out on 135 million euros in transfer fees.
The financially struggling Italians are eager to collect some cash by offloading some of the deadwood, and the rich Premier League clubs represent their best hope.
But failing to sell the four players mentioned above would leave them in a tough spot. On one hand, these players would overpack the squad, especially the midfield department at a time when the club is increasingly focusing on a crop of young players.
On the other hand, Juventus will struggle to raise transfer funds and make way for new players on the wage bill if they can’t get rid of their outcasts.
One is not a footballer, one used to be a footballer before he got chronically injured, one uses he`s social media to try and convince the world that he is a footballer, and one might be a footballer.
i dont know why we bought them.
all sht foreigners, hefty price tag, high salaries,
the era that we should buying foreign players because they are 2x times better than italian has to be end.
look how that intermilan’s strategy came out???
international milan was called that because they love to have their squad full of foreigner.
thats why they won nothing
but we stupidly enough following international milan path keept collecting those bullsht foreigner
The board is complete disaster! They had the chance to sell Weston, but they opted for loan. They will never get the amount they could get from Leeds last winter. And about the rest, no idea. Arthur is the worst thansfer.in Juve history!
