In a surprising turn of events, Juventus has reportedly shown interest in AC Milan’s captain Davide Calabria, who is set to become a free agent in the summer. This development comes as Calabria’s future at Milan remains uncertain, with his contract expiring at the end of the current season.
Calabria’s Situation at Milan
The homegrown right-back has found himself in a challenging position at AC Milan. Having lost his starting spot and with no signs of a contract extension on the horizon, Calabria appears to be heading towards the exit door. The relationship between the player and the club has been strained, particularly following an incident during a Champions League match against Red Star Belgrade at San Siro, where Calabria reportedly failed to acknowledge then-coach Paulo Fonseca after being substituted.
Interest from Other Clubs
While rumors have circulated about Como’s interest in securing Calabria’s services as early as January to bolster their defensive options, it seems that the Italian defender might have more prestigious suitors. According to reports from Relevo, Juventus have made preliminary inquiries about Calabria’s availability and the feasibility of signing him on a free transfer.
Juventus’ Potential Move
The Turin giants are reportedly assessing the conditions and practicality of bringing Calabria to the club. This interest from Juventus could offer Calabria a chance to remain at the top level of Italian football, despite his recent struggles at Milan.
Calabria’s Current Season
Despite his reduced role, Calabria has made 10 appearances this season across all competitions. He even managed to score a goal in the Coppa Italia round of 16, contributing to Milan’s comprehensive victory over Sassuolo.
