Juventus have long been interested in Leandro Paredes and this summer might be the right time to make a move for the Paris Saint-Germain man, although they’ll need to make a little space first.
The French giants have a long list of players they’re ready to sell this summer and despite the activation of a contract extension clause tying him to the club until 2024, Paredes is on this list. PSG value the 28-year-old at around €20m, figures that don’t frighten Juventus, and the possible inclusion of Moise Kean in a deal also facilitates things.
As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, Juventus’ main concern is the lack of space in their midfield. The club need to free up at least one spot and a number of players could be shown the door in the coming weeks.
Arthur is unwanted by Massimiliano Allegri but his high wages make a departure difficult for the time being. Adrien Rabiot could also be sold and his mother and agent Veronique is already exploring a possible move.
Denis Zakaria, who has offers worth around €15m, and Weston McKennie are also not considered unsellable, so a convincing offer could see either leave.
Finally there’s Aaron Ramsey; the Welshman certainly won’t feature under Allegri next campaign and talks are now ongoing to terminate his contract. The last meeting between the two parties revealed a distance of €2m between request and offer and a new round of negotiations will kick off soon.
