Juventus tries, he tries even more than Juve. At least to convince Udinese to grant him this last possible waltz in a great team. This is the situation of Roberto Maximiliano Pereyra, known to all as "the Tucu".
Last summer he remained a free agent for a long time just waiting for a new adventure that could satisfy his ambitions, through agents and intermediaries he had also launched his candidacy at Juventus itself only to be rejected for various reasons.
So during the first championship break, in late September, Pereyra returned home, namely to his Udinese. Of which he has once again become a fixed point, a fundamental leader in the complicated fight for survival of the Friulian club. Who now to give up on him, despite once again having his contract expiring, shot Juve high considering the delicate moment in the standings and the even more complicated one on the market less than two days from the end: 4 million.
Too many, for a player who is expiring and who will turn 33.
Juventus, however, insists, putting on the table the loan of one of his young players (not only immediately, but also in the summer) and an economic offer of less than 2 million euros. Focusing on the will of the player who would really like to return to Turin almost eight years after his farewell.
But Juve works on multiple tables, there is no more time to waste. And Southampton have been asked to be available on loan with right of redemption for Carlos Alcaraz, an Argentine attacking midfielder who has long been on Cristiano Giuntoli's notebook who had already looked for him during his time at Napoli. A complicated operation but one that Juventus is trying to unblock, despite the fresh renewal of the 2002 class who arrived in England just a year ago.
With that card Matias Soulé to be able to play at least in the future: Southampton is the English club ready to get serious in the event of promotion to the Premier League, a goal that would be a little more complicated to reach but without Alcaraz without a worthy replacement for how recently it has slipped in the hierarchies to the role of alternative.
