Juventus ‘do not exclude’ allowing Dejan Kulusevski to leave the Allianz Stadium during the January transfer window on loan, amid reported interest from Arsenal, per Calciomercato.
Kulusevski has struggled to cement a key place in the Bianconeri line-up since Massimiliano Allegri returned to Turin in May. Even though he cut a prominent figure under Andrea Pirlo.
The Sweden winger has only opened two games in all competitions so far this term, despite making 15 appearances. With the 23-year-old playing just 422-minutes for the Serie A side.
Kulusevski has also only scored once and provided one assist over his appearances, that equate to just 4.5 full matches. While left an unused substitute for the first time this season at home to Fiorentina earlier this month.
Juventus are now weighing up if Kulusevski’s future is in Turin, or whether they should sell the forward. The Old Lady would want €35m (£29m) to sell him, but do not rule out a loan.
Bianconeri chiefs will consider sanctioning a temporary exit as soon as the January transfer window. Which would be just two-years after signing the forward from Atalanta for €35m.
Juventus offer Arsenal route to January transfer for Kulusevski
Juventus warming to a loan exit for Kulusevski may offer Arsenal a chance to seal a transfer in the January window. Despite featuring in all four Champions League group stage wins.
Reports by TuttoJuve recently claimed the Gunners want to take the 20-cap international to north London. They could even include Nicolas Pepe in any deal, but Juve are not keen.
Arsenal feel Kulusevski could be the next coming of Highbury hero Freddie Ljungberg in the Premier League. He scored seven and assisted seven goals in 47 games last term.
