With the winter transfer window closing tonight, Juventus are trying to make several transfers before the deadline. While it won’t be a spectacular day by any means, there are several interesting stories left to follow on Tuesday.
For example, the future of Marley Aké remains in limbo. Although the player seemed destined to join Benevento, TuttoJuve reports that he turned down the proposal.
Although the rumored transfer is a dry loan until the end of the season, the 22-year-old reportedly has no intention of joining the Sorcerers, who are currently 17th in the Serie B standings and, therefore, they risk being relegated to Serie C.
The Frenchman joined Juventus in January 2021 in a controversial swap deal that saw Franco Tongya sign for Olympique de Marseille.
After spending a year with the Next Gen squad, Aké became a regular member of Max Allegri’s first team since last January.
But unfortunately for the young winger, a fibula injury kept him out of action for the early part of the current campaign. Meanwhile, the likes of Matias Soulé and Samuel Iling-Junior have usurped him up the pecking order.
Thus, the French player has been around in Massimo Brambilla’s Next Gen squad since he returned from injury earlier this month. He made four appearances in Serie C but has yet to contribute a goal.
