Former Juventus and Inter star Liam Brady hints at Giorgio Chiellini’s retirement at the end of the season and wouldn’t be surprised if Liverpool sold the Bianconeri target Mohamed Salah.
The 66-year-old has a strong bond with Italian football, having played for Juventus, Sampdoria, Inter and Ascoli during his playing career in the 80s.
The Bianconeri and the Nerazzurri meet at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night, with Paulo Dybala expected to start. The Argentinean will leave Turin at the end of his contract in June has been linked with a move to Inter. What if Juventus earn a penalty kick on Sunday night. Should Dybala take it?
“He should step up, take it and score. Show that he is a champion and a professional,” Brady told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Inter and Juventus are two strong teams, even if I think Milan has a 50% chance to win the title. I like to see Napoli up there and never rule out Juventus.
“The others don’t handle the pressure and Juventus are there. I won the first Scudetto in Turin thanks to the experience and I know that it’s the last chance for Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini to win something together.”
Chiellini signed a contract extension until 2023 last year, but there are growing reports that he will retire at the end of the season as Italy failed to qualify for Qatar 2022.
Juventus are looking for midfield reinforcement, who would Brady sign from the Premier League?
“Not Pogba, look at him, he is not consistent, he doesn’t help the team,” he said.
“Today’s football is different. I wouldn’t be surprised if Liverpool part ways with Salah, everyone must work for the team in today’s football.”
The Egypt international’s contract at Anfield runs out in 2023 and Juventus are one of the clubs interested in signing him in the summer.
So, who are the players of the new generation that Brady likes?
“I name two, of Arsenal, who of course, I always follow. Bukayo Saka, who you all know, and Emile Smith Rowe. He can become a top footballer, but in the game of the year [Real Madrid vs. PSG], the best player on the pitch was once again a 36-year-old guy named Luka Modric.”

He’s right about Pogba.
Steer well clear of that waster.
