The Juventus season has started perfectly. Victorious on the lawn of Udinese last weekend (3-0), the Old Lady is determined to show a different face than last year. However, it has shown its economic limits this summer. She failed to sell Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic, her two best market values. As a result, his room for maneuver in the transfer window was considerably reduced. She must also pay Paul Pogba’s salary.
The latter had a dark season for his return to Juventus. 6 years after leaving, the French hoped for a better start to a new history with his club. Between the meniscus, the thigh, the groin or the ischio, he played only 161 minutes of play divided into 10 meetings only. Finally freed from his physical worries, he returns with the firm intention of showing himself. He is almost a new recruit for Juventus but the latter does not wish to relive the nightmare of 2022/2023.
Juve want to lower Pogba’s salary but increase his bonuses
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, we learn that the management of the Bianconeri wishes to review the contract of the former Mancunian, who receives 8 M€ per year, in addition to 2 M€ in bonuses. Tied to his club until 2026, Pogba costs his club too much since his weaknesses have taken over. Juventus wants to keep it while considering this new data. The management plans to meet him soon to modify certain parameters, and link his emoluments to his performance.
In other words, Cristiano Giuntoli, the football director of the Piedmontese club, wants to lower the fixed salary of the Pickaxe but revalue all his bonuses and bonuses. Thus, in the event of a new injury, the player will not weigh down the accounts of his club. On the other hand, he will increase his income as soon as he is on the ground. It remains to know the position of the main interested party. He is likely to wince at this proposal, which does not really benefit him. Especially when injured.
