Juventus is searching for at least one more victory after collecting Arek Milik’s signature before wrapping up their summer business, and at this point, the candidate’s name is no longer a secret.
Leandro Paredes, as we are all aware, is the ideal player to support Max Allegri’s middle of the park, which desperately needs a true deep-lying playmaker.
Despite acknowledging the 28-year-impending old’s departure for Turin, his manager Christophe Galtier still intends to rely on the player this weekend while he is still at Paris Saint-Germain.
“So far, there is nothing done regarding Paredes, who is still a PSG player,” said the French tactician ahead of Sunday’s encounter against Monaco as reported by la Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I am aware of the dialogue between our club and Juventus regarding the player’s transfer, which is normal in the transfer market period, but Leandro has always participated in our matches.
“In the absence of Vitinha, I’m counting on him this Sunday against Monaco.”
However, famous Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio (via TuttoJuve) claims that Paredes already feels like a Juventus player.
The Mercato expert expects the transfer to be forged following the weekend action, in a deal that should be worth 15 million euros plus bonuses.
Di Marzio also reports that the Argentine will arrive to Turin on an initial loan switch with an option to buy, which can transform into an obligation under certain conditions.
