Juventus loaned Luca Pellegrini to Eintracht Frankfurt at the start of this season so he could get regular playing time.
The left-back is one of their budding youngsters who they believe could establish himself in the first team, but needs to develop further.
Pellegrini was enthusiastic about the move, considering it would give him exposure and help him play in the Champions League.
However, it has not been as good as everyone wanted and the Germans are not happy with their performances so far.
Its sports director, Markus Krosche, said via Football Italia:
“Luca had some difficulties after a decent start and then other injury related issues.
“You can tell he wants to do well, he has decent pace and the right attitude in physical duels, but he hasn’t found the right rhythm yet.
“He has to work on himself and do the things that he was taught during training. It’s up to him to decide how his experience at Eintracht will end.”
Juve FC says
Pellegrini is one of the best youngsters in our books right now and we expected him to excel in his loan spell at Frankfurt.
However, things do not always go according to plan and we must prepare to have him back at the club next season.
But if he does well in this second half of his term, we expect him to get another club or even move to the German side for good.
