Juventus CFO Fabio Paratici refuses to rule out January signings for the Old Lady and reveals Paulo Dybala will soon return to action.
“As I explained, in January this will be about opportunities and we have no particular requirements. We’ve seen Kulusevski can play as a support striker, Dybala’s injury isn’t as bad as previously thought, so he should be back in 7-10 days,” Paratici told Sky Sport Italia.
“We therefore just waited and kept an eye out for any potential opportunities on the market.”

Considering free agents like Aaron Ramsey and Adrien Rabiot have struggled for consistency, are Juve generally moving away from this sort of transfer objective?
“We’re satisfied with Ramsey and Rabiot. Last season we won the Scudetto and I think these players are expressing themselves at a good level.
“When it comes to choosing players who are free agents or for sale, we should differentiate only between talented and not talented, not free or for a price, old or young.”

How important the U23 squad is?
“The creation of an Under-23 team is an important step. If we look at all the major leagues, they’ve had B-Teams for 20, 30, 40 years, so the fact we were the only league without them should’ve raised some questions.
“It has certainly given us a boost on a technical level, because the young players can mature quicker, it’s a big difference getting players who were in Serie C rather than in the Primavera youth league.
“I’ve been working at Juventus for 11 years, I think with good results, and I am still hungry to win, to do my best for this club. In fact, I am only 48 years old, which is quite young for a director, so I feel like I still have a lot to learn.”
