Juventus has made a strategic decision to step back from signing Thomas Partey, the Arsenal midfielder, in light of his current injury issues.
This change in direction reflects a broader reassessment of their transfer goals, considering the player’s fitness and the club’s fiscal limitations.
Juventus have decided to forgo their pursuit of Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey in the upcoming transfer window. Despite being a keen target for the Italian giants, Partey’s current injury woes have led Juventus to reassess their transfer strategy.
Juventus, under the guidance of sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, are actively working to strengthen their squad.
Manager Massimiliano Allegri‘s requests for team reinforcement have led to a search for quality players. However, the club’s financial constraints have necessitated a cautious approach to spending.
Amid this scenario, several players who were initially on Juventus’s radar are now being reconsidered.
Partey, who has been closely monitored by Juventus for some time, was considered an ideal addition to their midfield.
The Ghanaian international, however, hasn’t played since October 8th due to a hamstring injury. His prolonged recovery has been a matter of concern, so much so that he was not called up for the Africa Cup of Nations by the Ghanaian national team coach..
This development has led Juventus to conclude that Partey, in his current condition, may not be the ready-to-play reinforcement they require.
Consequently, the Turin-based club is now looking elsewhere to fulfil their midfield needs, prioritising players who can immediately contribute to the squad.
