Juventus have made a surprising move to secure the signature of Hellas Verona defender Juan Cabal, outmaneuvering their rivals Inter Milan in the process. The Colombian international has arrived in Turin to undergo medical examinations and finalize his transfer to the Bianconeri.
The deal is reportedly worth €12 million, including bonuses, which proved to be a more attractive offer than Inter’s €10 million bid. This swift action by Juventus comes as a shock, as earlier reports had suggested that Cabal was on the verge of joining Inter.
At 23 years old, Cabal’s versatility as a left-back, wing-back, or central defender makes him an valuable addition to Juventus’ squad. His arrival marks the club’s fourth summer signing, demonstrating their intent to strengthen the team for the upcoming season.
The transfer saga surrounding Cabal has been eventful, with the player previously linked to clubs such as Lazio, Everton, and Stade Rennes. However, Juventus’ late intervention has seemingly secured his services.
In a busy day for the Turin club, Juventus is also set to unveil Thiago Motta as their new head coach at a press conference at the Allianz Stadium. These developments signal an active summer transfer window and a new direction for the Bianconeri as they prepare for the 2024-25 season.
