Juventus soccer market, said yes to a pharaonic contract that opens the door to the first bianconeri graft of the season
Juventus’ market is unlocked, both inbound and outbound. Because in addition to Douglas Luiz, who is now almost for all intents and purposes a new player in Thiago Motta, Giuntoli over the past few weeks has closed for another graft. Between the posts.
The name, as we know, is that of Michele Di Gregorio who will arrive from Monza on an onerous loan for 4 million euros with a buyback obligation set at 16million. Definitely an important sum but Juventus knows very well that with the former Inter player they have set things up for quite some time: he will sign a five-year contract. All done? Almost, only the last piece is missing to make the market operation official and that is precisely Szczesny’s farewell. The Polish goalkeeper, according to information reported by calciomercato.it, has said yes to the Arab offer that will really cover him in gold for the next two seasons.
Szczesny in Arabia, 35million euro yes
After seven years, having reached 34 years of age, Szczesny will say goodbye to Turin to go play again together with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. All the final details, again according to the source quoted earlier, have been settled: two-year €35million total and the situation now clear and defined. There is no possibility of turning back and there is now no doubt that the Pole, in front of such a sum, could think of turning back. He said yes, as almost all his colleagues, in front of such a salary, would have done.
But will Juve lose him for free? Not really: to the Bianconeri, Al Nassr will pay compensation that is expected to be around 5million euros. But it will be important for Giuntoli the real savings he will get from this outgoing transaction given that Szczesny weighed on the club’s coffers 13million euros gross per year. So between what will not be paid, and the tasteful compensation for the card, Juve has financed itself the Di Gregorio operation. A real masterstroke on Giuntoli’s part.
