Serie A giants Juventus have recently taken an interest in Argentinian midfielder Rodrigo de Paul, who currently plays for La Liga side Atletico Madrid.
Rodrigo de paul joined the Racing Club youth setup at a very young age. The midfielder later graduated from the Racing Academy and was promoted to the main team.
De Paul played two seasons for the Argentine club and then joined the Liga Valencia team. He failed to consolidate his place in the Valencian team and spent half a season on loan at his former club, Racing.
The midfielder was signed by Udinese from Serie A in 2016. The Argentine gradually became the best player of the Frulianos and even made his debut with the national team. Finally, in 2021, Rodrigo de Paul joined La Liga giants Atlético Madrid on a five-year contract.
Juventus keep an eye on Rodrigo de Paul
After signing for Atlético de Madrid in 2021, Rodrigo de Paul has failed to seal his authority at the Wanda Metropolitano. He clearly did not fit into Diego Simeone’s plans.
The 26-year-old had a very frustrating last season and is not having his best form this time around either. So it has been understood that if he continues the same pattern, Rodrigo could find himself on the transfer market as early as next summer.
Now, according to a recent report from Calciomercato, Juventus is closely monitoring Rodrigo de Paul’s situation at Atleti. If the opportunity arises, the Binaconeri will want to land the midfielder next summer.
After a decade of dominance in Serie A, Juventus have failed to finish in the top three in the last two seasons. Even this time, they are off to a very bad start. The Bianconeri have only lost and won three of their first nine games and are currently in ninth place in the table.
On top of that, they have lost two of their first three UEFA Champions League games. They are about to be eliminated from the group stage of the highest European competition.
The Juventus management understands the situation very well. Hence, they want to reinforce their squad with the arrival of multiple players in the coming windows.
Whats Next?
Despite his poor form with the club, Rodrigo de Paul is one of the best players on the Argentine national team. The midfielder played a key role in the Copa América victory and has also been very good in recent friendlies.
Surely he has enough qualities to be successful with a great team. So if Juventus can secure him, he will surely be a great signing for the Bianconeri.
Aside from Juventus, AC Milan are also very interested in the midfielder. So if Atleti decide to sell him, we can expect a transfer battle between the two Serie A giants.
