The situation is a bit of a mess for Juventus with the licked. He has two years left on his contract, so if Juventus don't sell now, they risk losing him for a much reduced price next year.
Speaker: But can they afford to sell him now? They've lost Killini already this summer. They've got Baluchi, who's 35, and his body is starting to break down. There are other options that center back aren't a guarantee right now. So if they sell Delic, they probably have to sign two center backs.
Speaker: And yeah it just it kind of just shows that the lack of planning the lack of a medium long -term project and you've answers when it comes to transfer. You look at them are also into no back in january he knew he probably would have to sell a defender and this summer so he started planning on a replacement in for you know for something like thirty million you then should have been doing this six months ago when they knew that there was a possibility the licks might not sign a new contract and may look to leave.
Speaker: Speaking of central defenders, I think Milan losing out on Botman to Newcastle is a blessing in disguise because given how well Kalulu looked last year and given how limited their transfer budget is this summer, that $30 -40 million or however it is, however much it was, is better used spent elsewhere like a right winger or replacing Frank Kessiet because it looks like they're going to miss out on Renato Sanchez, which is
Speaker: Part, you know, partly because of how poorly this takeover, if we can even call it that, it's more a partnership between Redbird and Elliot has been done because, you know, as of recording this, neither Massara or Maldini have extended their contracts yet. Bothman, I think that, again, as I said, it might be a blessing in disguise, but they do need to find a replacement for Kesie and Messignano Renato Sanchez. That is a big blow.
