Capitano Giorgio Chiellini (67 Viewers)

[ALC]

Ramos was still among Real Madrid's best defenders as well even during his last season with them. Didn't stop them from not renewing his contract and allowing their new, younger CB's with more time to settle in. It was a practical decision given that Ramos couldn't play much(due to injuries) and when he was fit, it was difficult to bench him. A sticky situation to be in but the right decision was made in the end.

I don't see why it should be any different with Chiellini. I mean he's 38 for god's sake. How about we give more opportunities for upcoming talent.

RM was willing to keep doing 1 year contract renewals and Ramos wanted more. If Chiellini is okay with 1 yr contracts, I say keep him

Why? Are we a charity? Why do we need a player for 1/3 of a season?

his locker room presence is important and he can hopefully still contribute in big games

I love Giorgio, but it is time for him to retire imo.

Hopefully he stays with the club in some capacity after. He is a very intelligent man and I have no doubt he could offer the club a lot in a management position.

We don't need to renew his contract this summer, last renewal was for 2 years.

On his day he is still our best CB

Our best and most consistent defender is MDL. However if Chiellini would accept significantly lower fixed salary and to mostly get paid based on number of appearances, Id keep him for another year.

Hopefully such contracts start getting made anyways I doubt we will see Chiellini next year at juve.

I could live with another year of Chiellini to be honest, depends a bit on the option we have tho.

Agree, but if we sell Bonucci. We need to sign a starter CB anyway, and we have Gatti and Rugani already. Plus Danilo, and De Winter if he stays. I would sell both and get 2 new CBs, but that seems a bit too much overhaul for one summer. And my preference would be Chiellini over Bonucci

In these rare moments when you see him play you realize how much he's gonna be missed.
Knows exactly when to go forward to break a pass, be faster than a striker or just cancel the action. And this at 37yo.

 

[zizinho]

I'd still keep him. Sell Bumucci

 

[iosono.bianconero]

When Fit he’s still the best CB in the world.

 

[Suns]

Keep him ffs, he's really good. Need to keep but on a much lower wages. He's NOT a problem.

 

[Elvin]

When Fit he’s still the best CB in the world.

Which is not even 1/3rd of a season sadly.

 

[Juve92]

Time to retire

 

[Boksic]

Good game, dragged us up the pitch.

His passing looks awkward but he plays a lot of effective ones through the lines..

Yes didn't watch the first half but guy who posters don't wanting to handle the ball in opponents half ( I understand why) he sure played with plenty of grinta! For an old man looked quite active before Juve's second goal. He did make some effective passes to the frontline. That's something I thought Arthur would be making all the time. I guess not.

Giorgio Chiellini’s considering to leave Juventus at the end of current season and MLS could be his next destination - he’s tempted by this possibility. #MLS

Current deal expires in June 2022 but Chiellini’s now open to try a new experience.

Long overdue.

Can we tempt Bonucci with the flashy lights of America instead?
