There Juventus he’s in trouble and that’s no exaggeration. The injuries of Bremer and Cabal, in chronological order, require the Juventus club to make serious assessments with a view to the winter transfer market, because it is necessary to remedy the alarming situation in defence. At the moment Thiago Motta has only three pure central defenders, namely Kalulu, Gatti and Danilo, who – barring inventions or adaptations by other players – will be squeezed out to the last drop.
Time is running out, the blanket is short
The calendar says so, given that upon returning from the national break there will immediately be a big challenge with Milan at San Siro, with the Champions League in between, moving on in the long term to the Super Cup which will bring the Bianconeri to another crossroads with Fonseca’s Rossoneri in Arabia on January 3. In short, ten stages – analyze La Gazzetta dello Sport – which will see Thiago Motta forced to invent something because the choices in the squad are what they are.
Busy calendar
Going into more detail about the Bianconeri’s scheduled commitments, however, the situation becomes drastic. As mentioned, we start with Milan in the championship, then the crash test with Aston Villa in the Champions League, then moving to the away match in Lecce at the end of the week. Then comes Bologna’s turn at the Allianz Stadium and immediately after Guardiola’s Manchester City. The last three matches of 2024 are more manageable on paper, between Venezia and Monza in Serie A, with the Italian Cup match against Cagliari in between. Closing with the Super Cup against the Rossoneri band. Only at that point will Juventus be able to operate on the market, not before.
