The name of Domenico Berardi is once again shaping discussions in the Juventus transfer market, especially following the impressive rise of young talent Lamine Mbangula. The Belgian forward has caught the attention of coach Thiago Motta and has convinced the club to keep him in the squad instead of sending him out on loan, as was initially planned. Unlike fellow players Rouhi and Savona, Mbangula demonstrated enough ability in training to make a strong case for remaining with the first team. His impressive performances have led to a reassessment of Juventus’s transfer strategies.
With only a few days left in the transfer window, Juventus still has a lot of work to do in order to align their attacking options with the coach’s demands. The club is heavily focused on securing the services of Nico Gonzalez and is also considering bringing in another winger, with Jadon Sancho and Conceiçao being potential targets. With the decision to keep Arkadiusz Milik, the club’s search for a backup to Dusan Vlahovic has narrowed, but Motta is still keen on adding a third winger if the budget allows.
Mbangula’s development opens the door to a familiar name in the transfer market: Berardi. Currently sidelined with an injury, Berardi could represent a low-cost option on loan, proving valuable in the medium-to-long term for Juventus as they look to strengthen their squad. The Italian international has significant financial implications for his current club, Sassuolo, especially after their relegation to Serie B. The Neroverdi are looking to focus on nurturing younger talents, which may benefit the future of another player, Muharemovic, who was close to joining Genoa but whose move has now cooled off.
Dialogue between the Bosnian defender and Sassuolo is ongoing, while Juventus continues to monitor Berardi’s situation closely. With Mbangula remaining part of the squad, Juventus could afford to wait for the return of the experienced Berardi, who is expected to be much more useful in the latter part of the season. As the transfer window approaches its conclusion, the coming days could prove crucial for both Berardi and Juventus as they navigate this pivotal moment in their respective futures.
