Juventus finds itself entangled in a grotesque and bewildering saga surrounding the player Alex Sandro.
The situation, which has been brewing for some time, sheds light on the prevailing confusion within the esteemed Italian team.
Reports from Nico Schira indicate that Alex Sandro, the talented fullback, had been deemed surplus to requirements by the club’s management since October.
However, to the astonishment of fans and pundits alike, Allegri continued to field him in matches.
This decision unwittingly triggered an automatic contract renewal for the player, entitling him to a substantial sum of 6 million euros, inclusive of bonuses.
The mandatory renewal of Alex Sandro’s contract has become a source of friction between the club’s Sporting Director, Calvo, and Coach Allegri.
This disagreement is not unfounded, as the Brazilian player’s recent performances have been subpar. It is believed that had he been given fewer opportunities on the field, the automatic contract renewal clause would not have been activated.
The Juventus club now finds itself displeased and grappling with the consequences of persisting with an underperforming Alex Sandro.
The automatic renewal has resulted in a significant financial burden, with the player set to earn a staggering 12 million euros in gross wages.
Critics argue that the club’s insistence on retaining Alex Sandro, despite his lackluster displays, has led to an unfortunate and costly outcome.
