Juve disaster: what will be the consequences? The question hovers in the Juventus world like a specter, why the bad elimination with Villarreal it uncovered some discontent that had been dormant by the latest results, but which have not completely disappeared. Club, coach, players, no one is saved from the storm and only a season finale between the championship and the Italian Cup will be able to revive the environment, very worried by the implications of this fool.
Lost 15 million and budget in the red
The first consequence of the premature exit from the Champions League, the third consecutive round of XNUMX, is the economic loss. Passing the shift would have brought 15 million euros in cash between UEFA prizes (10,6), market pool and future box office receipts (with Villarreal, to be clear, 2,4 were collected), however the Lady will have to deal with all the negative implications of the issue, starting with balance. The European campaign would not have been enough to close profits, but it would have at least helped cut losses, which instead should settle down, for the second year in a row, around -200 million. Many, many, also in consideration of Ronaldo's farewell, who in the club's plans had to guarantee a nice cut in the liabilities and who instead, in the light of many issues (mainly related to the pandemic) only served to not make it worse. The capital increase of 400 million guarantees a certain stability, but the owners want to re-establish the cost-revenue policy, which suggests a market full of sales.
De Ligt can leave
The number one suspect to leave Turin is the Dutch defender, considered one of the best in the world and for this reason very expensive. The annual salary of 8 million fixed plus 4 in bonuses it's too high, too its market value (70 million according to Transfermarkt, 120 in the clause set by Juve) makes it the expendable par excellence. Sure, giving it up would mean losing the only young defender of the squad (Rugani doesn't want it), but Cherubini has already bet Bremer (30/35 million, the young Gatti could enter the deal) and the balance, in this sense, would be decidedly positive.
Dybala, goodbye to Juve ever closer
The other excellent farewell could be to Dybala, whose renewal, at this point, becomes really complicated. The Argentine, already at loggerheads with Arrivabene, can only stay on condition that he drastically revises his requests, obviously downwards. Translated: the offer of 8 million plus 2 bonuses presented in October (and rejected by Antun) is no longer valid, which suggests a breakup and even a noisy one. They are at the window Inter e Atletico Madrid, but this would no longer be a black and white problem: saving, above all on a player who is always struggling with physical problems, would be the first thing to look at.
Pogba to Juve, the return is complicated
It is clear that in this scenario it becomes difficult to think of big purchases, starting with the great return of Pogba. The Frenchman has been winking at Juve for years and the summer of 2022, in which his contract with Manchester United will expire, had been marked by everyone as that of a possible return to base. Instead, it could be very complicated, because Paul asks for a monstrous salary, just like the usual Raiola's commission: in short, jumping into such a deal would be a madness that Exor does not like, already burned by the CR7 affair.
Merry: with less money you need ideas
The cue ball will thus pass into the hand of Massimiliano Allegri, called to give a good turn to his adventure-encore on the Juve bench. First of all we need a season finale up to par, therefore qualification in the Champions League and the final (possibly won) of the Italian Cup, after which we will need to sit around a table and take stock of the situation. Up front, with Vlahovic, Morata (close negotiation with Atletico for the redemption), Kean (difficult to sell given the 40 million spent) e Church the guidelines are already there, moreover it could arrive in Turin Zaniolo and thus complete a dream ward. In defense, in addition to the aforementioned "exchange" De Ligt-Bremer, it will be necessary to renew the full-back department (Cherubini aims at sell Alex Sandro), but it is in midfield that the real revolution will start, thus allowing Allegri to build a decidedly more technical and functional Juve: the short muzzle, near Continassa, is much appreciated, but not if it becomes the team's only weapon...
