TURIN – The revolution that Andrea Pirlo brought together Juventus will take the toll of two senior players. It is rumored that Gonzalo Higuain and Sami Khedira’s contracts will be terminated even though both of them still have another season left in Turin.
As is known, Juventus has appointed Andrea Pirlo as the new coach on August 8, 2020. The Italian man replaced Maurizio Sarri, who was sacked after the Old Lady was eliminated by Olympique Lyon in the last 16 of the Champions League.
The presence of Andrea Pirlo is expected to bring fresh air for Juventus. The squad, which is inhabited by mostly players aged over 30 years, is considered less than ideal. Bianconeri want to rejuvenate by releasing a number of senior players.
