Many fans of the Juventus they read the return of Massimiliano Allegri, guest of the studios of ‘Sky Sport’, just a few hours after the resounding knockout suffered by the bianconeri at home against Benevento before the break for the national team commitments.
That defeat effectively marked the team’s surrender Andrea Pirlo in the run-up to Inter and consequently the abdication after nine years of uninterrupted league titles, certified by the equally disappointing draw in the derby against Torino two weeks later.
If we then add that, when asked about a possible return to Turin, Massimiliano Allegri has not closed the door at all (“I don’t know, but the coach is now Andrea Pirlo and he must be left to work”), here is the double marriage between Juve and the Livorno coach who won five consecutive league titles with the bianconeri can take shape.
The belief of Andrea Agnelli with regard to the Pirlo project they seem to creak, but certainly Allegri, sought in Italy also by Roma, he would technical guarantees very specific to return to Juventus and count on a high-level squad capable of keeping up with Inter and being competitive in Europe. The first goal would be to reinforce the midfield, a department considered by a large part of public opinion to be the weak point of the current Juventus squad.
Arthur has not yet fully convinced, while Aaron Ramsey e Adrien rabiot, already in the second season in Turin and possible capital gains in the next market having been purchased on a free transfer.
Here then it may be necessary to rely on a player of quality and personality in the middle of the field, an heir to that Miralem Pjanic that Allegri has imposed as a director.
The right name could be that of Leandro Paredes, dated Juventus goal.
The Argentine born in 1994 has been in force for two and a half years at Paris Saint-Germain, who bought him from Zenit St. Petersburg in January 2019 after a season and a half in Russia where he had landed after being consecrated in Empoli and a year in Rome.
Discovered very young by the Giallorossi, Paredes liked Juve right from the time of his militancy in the capital, but today the value of his card is much higher than then and close to 40 million. Also Antonio Conte he is an admirer of the former Boca Juniors, who could return to Italy if the PSG did not renew his contract expiring in 2023 with relative adjustment.
With or without Allegri back at the helm, the new Juventus could start again from Paredes.
