Fredy Guarin

Swap deal for Vucinic apparently. Odd considering the amount of quality CMs Juventus have. Pogba or Vidal to leave?

Juve have only 4 CMs (Pirlo, Pogba, Marchisio, Vidal) for 3 positions. If one is injured or suspended then they won't have any CM on the bench. Add to that the fact that Conte sometimes likes to use Marchisio behind the striker and hence would need all of the 4 CMs on the pitch. It's not a bad signing for them since they need a backup CM and Vucinic is very low down the pecking order, especially if you consider that Guarin is versatile and can also cover on the wings.

Read somewhere that he rejected 4 millions euro/year from Chelsea because he's already set his heart for Juventus even if they just offered him 3 millions euros/year.

Even he talks about already a Juventini since kid.
