Juventus acquired Joao Mario to be their new starter on the right wing, but he hasn\u2019t convinced two different coaches. He has completely fallen out of favor after receiving more than a few chances at the beginning of the season.<\/p>\n
According to TuttoSport<\/em>, his January exit is becoming a real possibility. His entourage is planning to pay a visit to the Bianconeri<\/em> HQ. The Portuguese defender could have some suitors abroad. Crystal Palace have lodged an opening inquiry.<\/p>\n Juventus actually netted a small profit while signing Joao Mario. He came in with \u20ac11,4M valuation, while the player they swapped him for, Alberto Costa, was valued at \u20ac15M in the deal with Porto. They\u2019d be looking for a comparable figure to part ways.<\/p>\n The former youngster has been thriving back in his home country. He has been a full-time starter and has recorded 6 assists in 20 matches.<\/p>\n As for the potential replacements, the Old Lady is eyeing the usual suspects from Serie A, Marco Palestra and Brooke Norton-Cuffy. They have done a good amount of homework on Rafik Belghali. He has made a strong impact following a \u20ac2M move from Mechelen to Verona, scoring twice in 15 appearances. The Scaligeri are hearing up for another \u2018plusvalenza<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n The trade didn\u2019t make a lot of sense in the moment and couldn\u2019t have gone any worse. While Weston McKennie and Filip Kostic have been fine, they\u2019d be a lot better with another dynamic and well-rounded wing player. At least they didn\u2019t really spend on him, making it easy to cut bait and look for a more intriguing player.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Juventus and Joao Mario<\/h3>\n
