Juventus has had many rumours surrounding players leaving the club as they look to raise funds for other signings. The signings of players mainly coming from in the midfield with players like Douglas Luiz, Khepren Thuram and Teun Koopmeiners. This has led to it being believed that Giuntoli wants to sell him.
However, for multiple reason I believe he should stay for the next 2 years at least. I believe this because of multiple. Due to the current playing list especially in the midfield department.
Our current list
Currently Juventus lacks midfield depth. Especially in the more attacking areas that Mckennie features in. The signing of Teun Koopeminers is looking to help this but behind him there is only Nicolo Fagioli. Adrien Rabiot can play this role but I believe he will leave Juventus.
Fagioli also features in a more defensive role where is another place that has depth problem is defensive midfieder. However this may make Fagioli unneeded as both of Douglas Luiz and Khepren Thruam are supposedly going to be signed. I find it unlikely that birth will be signed as I think the funds should go to other places.
I think we should re invest into a young right back option. We have been interested in Napoli’s Di Lorenzo. I believe he is too old for the next project. Instead I would look to someone like Malo Gusto of Chelsea. As well young left back depth should be added. It dosnet need to be a player ready to start now but who can develop.
With our midfield I would only bring in Luiz and Koopeminers. I would loan out one of Miretti and Nicolussi Caviglia as they where barley played this season. I would keep it as is with a midfield depth of. Koopmeiners, Luiz and Locatelli starting. 1 on Miretti and Nicolussi Caviglia, Fagioli and Yildiz as in Koopeminers role if he needs to drop deeper.
I would extend Mckennie until 2027. I would like to sell him before that when the club can afford to sign a new midfielder without helping to sell stats like Federico Cheisa and Mattias Soule
