PSG: Juventus will rush towards Marco Asensio

The transfer window will soon open its doors and all European clubs are in the starting blocks, looking for good deals. At Paris Saint-Germain, as with every transfer period, rumors should multiply and the trio composed of Luis Campos, Nasser al-Khelaïfi and Luis Enrique already have several files on their desk. Situations to resolve, negotiations to accelerate, profiles to probe… In short, the month of January will be anything but calm in the bays of the Parc des Princes. Between a busy schedule and a transfer window eagerly awaited by observers, Parisian news will, as usual, be scrutinized from all sides by the various championships, always on the lookout for certain young Titis or other former Parisian executives now on departure.

“What gift am I hoping for for Christmas? I am very happy with the squad. The best thing in each transfer window is to be attentive, it’s difficult to improve our squad, we want to develop our young talents. Regarding the transfer window, we have a very good team. I don’t think the truce will break the dynamic. Last year we made more than 10 transfers. There is no urgency, no need at the moment, but if there is an opportunity to improve the squad, great. But we have a very big team”Luis Enrique said at a press conference before the official break for the end-of-year holidays. If very few names have filtered in the direction of arrivals, the Parisian management already knows that they will have to work hard to find places for three players now considered undesirable, including Marco Asensio.

Thiago Motta likes the profile

According to our information, Marco Asensio is on Juventus’ shelves this winter. Indeed, if the winter priority remains to find a central defender to compensate for the serious injury of Gleison Bremer, the Turin management led by Cristiano Giuntoli also wants to strengthen its offensive lines. Thus, Marco Asensio’s very versatile attacking profile pleases Thiago Motta and attracts envy. The Bianconeri are determined to take action in the first days of the transfer window. A loan with a purchase option to be negotiated with Paris Saint-Germain would be the form desired by Juventus. According to our indiscretions, Inter Milan, further behind on the issue, has also shown interest in recent weeks. La Liga clubs whose names have not been filtered have also checked the name of Marco Asensio. The central point of the negotiations between PSG and the suitors will be to find an agreement on covering part of the salary. Under contract until June 2026, the native of Palma de Mallorca receives an annual salary of around 10 million gross.

After a flourishing transfer window, Thiago Motta’s new Juventus started its rejuvenation very strongly with two big victories in Serie A, against Como (3-0) then Hellas Verona (3-0). Three consecutive goalless draws (0-0) brought the Bianconeri back to earth, before giving way to a daily life full of ups and downs. The excitement of the new resolutely offensive project carried by a modern and appreciated coach with growing popularity finally recalled nostalgic flanges of a Juventus that was not as attractive and entertaining as it was under Massimiliano Allegri. Even if Juventus is still undefeated in Serie A, they remain classified in a disappointing 6th place – the fault of a total of eleven draws, and had not won in the league since the beginning of November before their success against Monza on December 22 . In this sense, Juventus must get to work this winter to return to the race for the Scudetto and consolidate its position in the Champions League.
