Juventus find themselves in a peculiar situation as the January transfer window nears its conclusion. Several players on the fringes of the squad are awaiting their next move, with some closer to an exit than others. The club remains patient, ready to act on opportunities that may arise unexpectedly, much like the recent Cambiaso deal.
Arthur Melo’s situation remains the most complex. The Brazilian midfielder continues to train at Continassa, hoping for good news from his agent. After an attractive offer from Real Betis, which Arthur was open to, negotiations stalled over the financial terms. Betis expected Juventus to contribute significantly to Arthur’s wages, a proposal the Turin club rejected. While this avenue may reopen in the coming days, as Betis has not strengthened in that area of the field, no other concrete offers have materialized for Arthur.
Former captain Danilo is set to play his final match for Juventus this weekend. The defender has decided to return to Brazil, though he has yet to choose his next club. Flamengo appears to be the frontrunner, offering Danilo the chance to reunite with Alex Sandro, his former teammate at both Porto and Juventus. Santos is also in the running, with the ambitious plan of bringing Neymar back to the club as well. While Danilo is still weighing his options, a move to Flamengo seems most likely.
The situation surrounding Nicolò Fagioli has taken an unexpected turn. Despite early transfer window speculation about his departure, no offers compelling enough to sway Juventus have arrived. The club might have considered bids in the range of 15-18 million euros, but without any last-minute developments, Fagioli’s exit seems unlikely. In fact, manager Thiago Motta has hinted at increased opportunities for the young midfielder in the future.
