Genuinely curious how long we can hold on to him. I’ll be pretty gutted when he leaves. Hoping we can get atleast 4-5 top years of him before Madrid and City come knocking.
4-5 years is like a life time in modern football.
I dont know. I think he's here for the long term (and by that, I mean at least the next few years). Part of that is I think he really respects and treasures Juventus and wants to be here, and the other part is, he's not exactly a world class superstar where all the top clubs will be beating down his door to sign him and start him.
If he wanted to be a squad player at a massive club, he wouldn't have left Bayern. He probably looks at the situation of his fellow countryman Güler right now and thinks "thank God that's not me"
He just doesnt feel like someone who has his eyes on something bigger and better --- like we knew someone like Pogba did (although the "better" part of that is certainly debatable).
If he actually becomes the type of player where all the big boys come knocking on the door with big promises and the money to match, then yeah, I'll be worried, as I think the club would probably be more than happy to sell him to capitalize financially --- but we're a LONG WAY from him reaching that level.
