Calciomercato director Gianni Visnadi has discussed the possibility of Juventus swapping Mattia de Sciglio for AS Roma’s Rick Karsdorp after reports revealed both clubs could make the deal.
Karsdorp has fallen out with Jose Mourinho, and that could force him to leave Roma as the Giallorossi look to ensure their squad doesn’t split.
Reports claim that Juve want to add him to their squad in January as they look to continue strengthening Max Allegri’s squad.
However, Roma want to keep him or sell him outright instead of the loan-to-own deal that Juventus want.
The swap deal might be the best idea, but Visnadi insists he doesn’t think Allegri wants to part with De Sciglio just yet.
He said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“I would be very surprised if Allegri parted ways with De Sciglio, but I think Karsdorp at Juventus is a credible deal. Something will move: Juve wants him, also because they need a replacement for Cuadrado. He needs to adjust the squad, but at the right price”.
Juve FC says
Trading De Sciglio for Karsdorp is a good idea. After all, the Juve man has struggled to play for the club for much of this season.
Karsdorp looks like a more complete right-back who could become the long-term replacement for Juan Cuadrado, another player who is having a dismal season at the club.
