Juventus faces uncertainty, grappling with injuries and off-field unavailability that cast shadows over the rest of the season. Nevertheless, one aspect remains unquestioned – Juventus will actively participate in the January transfer market to strengthen their midfield.
Among the myriad of options, there is a distinct name on the top of their wish list: Lazar Samardzic. According to calciomercato.com, preliminary discussions have already taken place between Juventus emissaries and Lazar Samardzic’s entourage.
The potential deal that could sway Udinese is a hefty loan fee with an obligation to buy, with figures reminiscent of the agreement Udinese had struck with Inter in the summer. Moreover, both clubs seem to have identified Hans Nicolussi Caviglia as a suitable counterpart in finalizing the deal.
However, a hurdle looms in Juventus’ January pursuit of Samardzic, and in an unusual twist, Juventus is secretly hoping for Udinese’s success. Udinese has stumbled through the early stages of the season, and if they find themselves in the relegation zone come January, barricades could be raised to prevent the departure of the Serbian gem.
In any case, even if there is a temporary setback, Juventus will revisit their interest in Samardzic next summer in this scenario.
As Juventus plans their midfield reinforcement strategy for January, the allure of Lazar Samardzic is undeniable. He could bring the creative spark and dynamism that the team is seeking. The outcome of Udinese’s season holds the key to this intriguing transfer saga, and football enthusiasts will be eagerly following its developments.
