Bernardeschi, return to Juventus?

Federico Bernardeschi (29) decided to leave Juventus to go to MLSin toronto. She did so as a free agent, without the ‘old lady’ getting any revenue from her departure. A rather strange move for a player who was then 28 years old. In his presentation he argued ” I chose to go to MLS even though I had opportunities in Italy with many teams, and I feel very lucky for that, but in Italy, from my point of view, a cycle ended. “He won everything to win, including the European Championship with the national team.”

Toronto’s poor performance, an additional reason to return

When he and Insigne arrived in Toronto, the face of the team changed. Both shouldered the responsibility of leading and scoring goals and the victories began to come. That was in 2022, the year in which he came mid-course and scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists in 13 games. His participation is maximum. In 2023 the movie is very different, Toronto is the worst team in MLS, with a series of defeats and the Italians were united. In the case of the former Juve player, he scored only five goals and provided 4 assists in 31 games, numbers far from expected. The performance of the team, the criticism and its limited contribution made it want to open a new cycle in Italy.

Juventus, a real choice

Although for Allegri has never been a priority, the truth is that what a week ago was a resounding no, is now a possibility. The reason is that Juventus is fighting head to head for the championship with Inter, with 46 points, two less than the Interists. And to continue competing you have to maintain the block or that the entries are no worse than the exits. The name of Bernardeschi, who has been dedicating himself for several weeks, is marked in red there. Kostic, a regular player on the left side in the Italian coach’s eleven, has offers from Arabia and could leave. The player was attracted by the millions they could offer him and Juventus had to get in.

Bernardeschi spent five seasons as a Bianconero and knows the club well, so his adaptation will not be a problem, as he is at the same time as most of his teammates. The big question is his physical condition, since MLS ended a few weeks ago and he hasn’t competed since the end of October. The positive side is that this is a transfer, he comes wanting to take over the world and knows that if he wants to be bought he has to do it well. Furthermore, in June, just around the corner, is the always delicious Euro Cup, which if you return to Europe you will want to compete to defend the crown you won with other teams in an exciting final against England at the legendary Wembley.

His numbers at Juventus

He arrived in 2017 from Fiorentina for 40 million. He played five seasons in Turin, playing more than 150 games in which he scored twelve goals. Against Atlético in the Champions League he produced one of his best performances.
