Juve’s former player and current vice president, Pavel Nedved, wiped aside all doubts about the Portuguese’s whereabouts in an interview with DAZN. The player has never expressed any intention to change and will therefore fulfill his contract, which runs until 2022.
Sports director Federico Cherubini also blew the same horn. “He didn’t give us any sign that he wanted to leave. We’re talking about a player who scored 36 goals in 44 games last year.”
An unfortunate professional would not provide such numbers. “When his well-deserved vacation is over, he will join the team in preparation for the next season.”
