As the winter window draws closer, various transfer news begins to heat up quietly. Earlier, according to the Italian name Skira, Ramsey was no longer in Allegri's plan, and he, Together with Artur and Bentancour, were put on the sellable list by Juve. In addition to this, if there is a suitable offer in the winter window, Juve are also ready to sell Rabiot, and 2 of the above 4 players will leave the team in the next few weeks.
Last season, Juve's Nine-Title Streak in Serie A was terminated by Inter, and the team has shown downward momentum. This season, Allegri's "second entry" still failed to stop Juve's decline. As of now, Juve have only won 8 wins in 17 rounds, and 9 games have drawn 4 and lost 5, which is currently 12 points behind Inter at the top of the table. With such a distance and such a state, Juve's most realistic goal this season can only be set at 4.
Retaining Champions League qualification and then regrouping in the next transfer window to rebuild the glory step by step is the current plan of the Juve executives. But that's easier said than done, and the hardest place to regroup is the midfield.
Two of the above 4 midfielders are visa-free. At that time, to be able to win these 2 "big fish" in the free agent market, Juve executives must have secretly snickered in their hearts. But once the players who are exempt from the lottery do not perform as expected, their high salaries will surely become a heavy burden on the club.
Ramsey, in particular, the Arsenal veteran will move to Juve on a free transfer in the summer of 2019 with a weekly salary of up to £400,000. But since joining, Ramsey has only played 49 league games for Juve, started 25 times, scored 5 goals and assisted 5 times, which is completely out of proportion to the super high salary, plus there is a danger of serious injuries. Today, cleaning up Ramsey has become a top priority for Juve's top brass.
Newcastle was rumored to be interested, but eventually lost, and the Premier League upstart's current number one target is Jesse Lingard. In addition, Everton is also interested, but prefers to be visa-free rather than pay the transfer fee. But Juve and his correspondent Romeo have confirmed that early termination is not a viable option. Crystal Palace and Wolves are also home to the scandal, but Ramsey himself does not want to go, which seems to be a dead knot.
When he first became a free agent, Rabiot attracted the attention of many giants, including Manchester United, but he chose Juve in the end. After joining Juve, Rabiot played a lot of time, but his performance did not meet the requirements of the Juve manager. According to reports, Rabiot's mother has recommended to European teams such as Chelsea, and Juve are willing to let people clean up the salary space.
But Juve's asking price determines the likelihood of Rabiot's transfer. Players are currently worth $30 million, but once the asking price exceeds that number, the interest of the other side may quickly decrease. But the asking price is too low, and the Juve executives will not be satisfied. Previous media reports said that Juve's asking price is 15 million euros, which is certainly unreliable, after all, Rabiot is the main force of the French national team, and the annual salary after tax is not too high, only 7 million.
Last summer, Barca and Juve had a "player swap" deal, Artur went to Juve and Pjanic joined Barca. The deal, which was not optimistic at the beginning, also failed completely, with Pjanic having already left Barca and Artur being completely reduced to a marginal player at Juve. There are reports that Juve priced Artur for 35 million euros, which is in line with his value, but this price is unlikely that any team is willing to take over.
Bentankur was expected when he first joined, but the subsequent development did not meet expectations and became a "bastard" in the eyes of some Zebra fans. But to be honest, Bentankur's ability is like this, but the main player is more demanding. If you can't sell and stay as a substitute, it's still good, positive attitude, defensive hard work, diligent, and the salary is not high.
If the above 4 people can be sold, Juve can have a big change of blood in midfield, and even consider a free Pogba. But to be honest, it is not an easy task to sell these 4 players, and it is very likely that the last one will not go.
