Keep, sell, or loan: How Juventus should handle their squad this month
By John Vaccaro
Midfielders:
Miralem Pjanic
This is another case where there is a 0% chance we see a player sold any time soon. Miralem Pjanic is the focal point of everything Juve does offensively and it’s going to stay that way for at least the next year and a half. It seems like Juve is lining up Sandro Tonali to eventually replace him, but I don’t think they’d put that kind of responsibility on him right away if they sign him. Pjanic is going to remain an important member of this squad for a little while longer.
Keep
Rodrigo Bentancur
There have been many rumors about transfer offers for Rodrigo Bentancur since the end of last season. I don’t think there is any way Juve lets him go, though. Earlier in the season it seemed more plausible that he would leave because he wasn’t getting enough playing time. Now he’s starting regularly, will be a part of Juve’s best midfield all season, and looks like a prominent member of their future plans. Rodrigo Bentancur will be here for the rest of the season and I’m hoping he’ll be a member of this team for a long time after that.
Keep
Aaron Ramsey
The early part of Aaron Ramsey’s Juventus career hasn’t exactly been what the club was hoping for when they signed him this summer. His health has continued to be an issue and he has rarely been included in the starting lineup. He did finally get himself back in the starting lineup this week, so Juve will certainly be hoping they can get more out of him in 2020. He’ll certainly be a part of this team until the end of the season, but things will get more interesting over the summer if he continues to miss matches with injuries.
