Juventus had to wait to properly judge Emil Holm, as he sustained a serious calf injury shortly after joining, but he was instrumental in their seminal victory over Atalanta, while Joao Mario quickly became a regular for Bologna.<\/p>\n
According to Corriere dello Sport<\/em>, the two clubs will start discussing what to do with the two players, who both transferred on loan, as they\u2019ll meet in the next Serie A round. Both are fairly satisfied with their signings, but probably not enough to acquire the two fullbacks permanently in short order.<\/p>\n Juventus would have to pay \u20ac15M to redeem Holm, while Bologna are open to extending the loan of Joao Mario for another campaign, adding an option to buy. The Portuguese had struggled mightily in Turin. Instead, he has started over Nadir Zortea in most matches since heading to Emilia.<\/p>\n The Swedish international filled in for Weston McKennie versus Atalanta, tilting to the scheme to a 3-4-2-1. He contributed to the game-winning goal with a powerful sprint down the wing. He was brought to Italy by Spezia, then didn\u2019t pan out with La Dea <\/em>before finding a home with the Rossobl\u00f9<\/em>.<\/p>\n The fact that the latter proved to be an adequate contributor is a minor surprise. Perhaps he should have been trusted a little more. The former is better suited to play as a wing-back and brings something different to the table than Pierre Kalulu, which doesn\u2019t hurt. Both will likely stay where they are, barring big injuries in some way, shape or form. Still, it won\u2019t offset the fact that the Bianconeri<\/em> could have just kept Alberto Costa, who\u2019s thriving in Porto, if they wanted that kind of player.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Juventus, Bologna, Holm, and Joao Mario<\/h3>\n
