The indiscretion. As is known, the 25-year-old American midfielder was excluded from the Juventus squad following the pre-season friendly against Brest on August 3, together with Wojciech Szczesny and Federico Chiesa. Thiago Motta’s statement, in agreement with the club, left no doubts.

Not to mention the Bundesliga and MLS are hot on his trail.

The Tuscan club would like a permanent transfer of the player, but the deal depends on the completion of other transfers by Viola. One of these could be the transfer of Nico González to Juventus. It remains to be seen how the situation will evolve, taking into account the delay in the last few hours by president Commisso regarding the departure of the Argentine winger to his eternal rival.
