Olympique Lyonnais finds itself in a precarious position, facing the threat of administrative relegation to Ligue 2 unless they can generate funds through player sales. Among their most valuable assets is Nicolas Tagliafico, the 32-year-old Argentine international who has won it all with his national team.
Recent reports from Corriere dello Sport suggest that Tagliafico’s name has been proposed to Juventus, catching the attention of the club’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli.
Tagliafico, primarily a left-back, has also excelled as a central defender throughout his career, thanks to his exceptional ability to build play from the back. His versatility makes him an attractive prospect for the Bianconeri. Moreover, Tagliafico’s Italian passport means he wouldn’t occupy a non-EU player slot in Juventus’ squad, further enhancing his appeal.
The financial aspects of the potential deal appear favorable for Juventus. Reports suggest that the transfer could be completed for around 5 million euros, a relatively modest sum for a player of Tagliafico’s caliber and experience. His arrival at the Continassa training ground would bring a wealth of international experience and tactical flexibility to the Juventus squad.
Tagliafico’s potential move to Turin represents an opportunity for Juventus to strengthen their defensive options with a proven winner. His ability to play multiple positions and his experience at the highest level of international football could prove invaluable to the Italian giants as they look to reinforce their squad.
