Juventus have a long list of players out on loan, some of whom could return to the club and others who’ll be sold in the summer.
Off-pitch issues, including the 15-point deduction handed to the club by the FIGC court and the ongoing Prisma investigation, will have a heavy impact on the Bianconeri’s plans for the summer, forcing them to be resourceful and invest in the right places in order to strengthen Massimiliano Allegri’s squad.
With a number of first team players out on loan, Juventus are now considering their options and have started to develop a plan for the summer, Il Bianconero highlights.
Marley Ake – The 22-year-old is currently on loan at Dijon and will return to Turin in the summer, but will be sold or sent out again on loan, not making the first team.
Arthur Melo – Currently at Liverpool, the Brazilian midfielder has barely featured this season and will certainly return in the summer. Juventus are hoping to sell him but may be forced to accept another loan exit.
Andrea Cambiaso – The 23-year-old is impressing on loan at Bologna and could muscle his way into Allegri’s first team in the summer.
Dejan Kulusevski – There are no guarantees that he’ll stay with Tottenham, with his conditional obligation to buy clause linked to their Champions League qualification. Despite this, he’ll likely remain in North London and the two clubs will try to iron out a deal.
Weston McKennie – Leeds picked up the American on a loan deal with a €39m total buy option attached, giving them flexibility. A gentlemen’s agreement has reportedly been reached with Juventus that’ll see the English club purchase McKennie should they avoid relegation.
Hans Nicolussi Caviglia – The Italian midfielder is doing well with Salernitana and they could pay €8m to make his move permanent, with Juventus possibly including a €10m buy-back option.
Luca Pellegrini – After spending half the season on loan with Eintracht Frankfurt, Pellegrini joined Lazio in January, but has struggled to break into Maurizio Sarri’s squad. It seems unlikely that the Biancocelesti will pay €10m to make his stay permanent.
Marko Pjaca – The 27-year-old has struggled for regular minutes with Empoli this season and will not be purchased by the club, forcing Juventus to find a new home for the Croat in the summer.
Filippo Ranocchia – The Italian midfielder has not featured too heavily for Monza this season but Juventus haven’t given up hope on the 21-year-old and will send him back out on loan in the summer to gain more experience.
Nicolo Rovella – Allegri is a big fan of the 21-year-old and will likely promote him to the Juventus first team in the summer once Leandro Paredes departs.
Denis Zakaria – The Swiss midfielder has barely been given a chance to impress at Chelsea this season and it’s unlikely they’ll pay €33m total for him, making a return to Turin probable.
