With new manager Juan Motta on board, Juventus goalkeeper
Szczesny (name)
It is getting closer and closer to bidding farewell to the club. Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Victory FC have reportedly offered the Poland international a two-year contract worth €19 million a year. This lucrative offer, coupled with an invitation from former teammate Cairo, has swayed Szczesny's thoughts.
Szczesny, who has written an illustrious chapter in Juventus' history, was originally scheduled to fulfill his contract through 2025. However, Riyadh's victorious offer and generous contract package certainly had a major impact on his decision. The contract could be the last big one in Szczesny's career and will change his life dramatically.
Juventus will receive a transfer fee of €5 million and a capital gain of approximately €3.5 million in the transfer of Szczesny. The club will also save approximately €13 million in pre-tax annual salary payments. With the departure of Szczesny, Juventus will have Di Gregorio as their starting goalkeeper, with Perin continuing as their number two.
In addition, Juventus recently sold youngster Keo Jorge to Cruzeiro for a transfer fee of €7.2 million. The transfer fee will be paid over three years and Juventus will receive a capital gain of approximately €3.1 million.
Szczesny's departure marks the end of an era for Juventus, while freeing up space and funds for the club's future development. Juventus' flexibility and financial management in the transfer market will help the club continue to be competitive in the new season.
Fans will be closely watching Szczesny's performance in the Riyadh victory, while expecting Juventus to perform well in the new season. The club's strategic adjustments and financial optimization have certainly laid a solid foundation for the team's long-term development.
