Brazilian defender Danilo may be leaving Juventus soon. He was not picked for the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, which shows that he and the club are growing apart. Even though he is healthy and available, coach Thiago Motta has chosen not to include him in the team for the match against AC Milan. This suggests that there may be more going on than just game strategy, hinting that he might be leaving the club.
DANILO’S ROLE DIMINISHES
Danilo not playing in such an important game raises concerns about his future. Juventus’s sports director, Giovanni Manna, praised Danilo’s skills but did not discuss any talks about his future. However, not being chosen shows that his role on the team is getting smaller. Reports say Juventus wants to change its defense and might replace Danilo with new players in January.
NAPOLI EMERGES AS A CONTENDER
Napoli is currently the top team interested in Danilo. His contract ends in June, making January the last chance for Juventus to get money from his transfer. Napoli wants to give him an 18-month contract, seeing him as an important addition to their defense, especially after losing some players.
The main issue in talks is the transfer fee. Juventus wants money for Danilo, but Napoli hopes to get him for free since he will be a free agent in the summer.
JUVENTUS’S FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
If Danilo leaves, Juventus could save a lot of money. He earns about €4 million a year, and his departure would help with financial issues. Although ending his contract early is an option, it seems unlikely. Juventus might try to arrange a transfer with Napoli or another team to make some money.
TRANSFER MARKET DYNAMICS
While Napoli is the main contender, other teams, like Al-Nassr, are also interested in Danilo. Juventus tried to trade Danilo for Fikayo Tomori, but AC Milan said no.
Danilo’s uncertain status shows that Juventus is changing its defense strategy. The club plans to bring in two new players in the next transfer window, focusing on younger players.
Danilo not being part of the Italian Super Cup team is a key moment in his time at Juventus. With Napoli wanting to sign him and Juventus willing to negotiate, a transfer in January seems likely. The next few weeks will be important for deciding what happens to Danilo and how Juventus will change its defense.
