Nine players on the edge, just one clock ticking away. Juventus needs to trim the squad.
Losapio captures the true state of affairs in these final days of the transfer market. It’s not about the incoming players, who are nearly settled, but rather about the outgoing ones. There are many still hanging in the balance. Perin is considering a move to Palermo, Di Gregorio is packed and ready but lacks a clear destination, and then there are Rugani and Cabal, both seemingly on their way out.
The situation becomes more complex with the bigger names. There was a plan to cash in on Gatti for a profit, but that seems challenging. Arthur is heading towards a contract termination, a painful but sometimes necessary path. And then there are the two major puzzles, Koopmeiners and Miretti: there has been some interest, certainly, but nothing concrete has materialized. The same goes for David, who is being courted verbally but has no solid offers on the table.
There’s a subtle anxiety in these final days, stemming from the knowledge that time is running out and that every uncompleted transfer means a salary burden and an occupied spot. The outgoing market is a tricky business: selling those who are no longer needed, under the right conditions, before the bell rings.
Will the management manage to offload everyone, or will some players remain reluctantly in the squad? Who would you like to see leave first?
