Mercato: Sciglio-Kurzawa exchange between PSG and Juventus stalled

The transfer window ends in three days on Friday, and Layvin Kurzawa is off to a good six months in Paris. While he thought he would rebound at Juventus Turin as part of an exchange with Mattia De Sciglio, the left side of PSG finally sees this emergency exit barred, while his contract ends in June.

According to our information, the Italian club has communicated to the various players in the file of its desire to keep Mattia De Sciglio, 27, who can play in the right or left corridor. Already, at the end of the week, coach Maurizio Sarri had admitted "not having studied" the profile of the Frenchman. It also remained for the Paris defender to find a contractual agreement with Juve.

Even if a reversal of the situation can never be ruled out in terms of transfers, it is more than likely that this exchange does not take place, for reasons of choice rather than for contractual differences. Kurzawa is back to square one, because PSG did not plan to give it up without an alternative in the left corridor of the defense.

In Italy, we are surprised by PSG's interest in Sciglio

Mattia De Sciglio is a player followed for a long time by Leonardo but like Kurzawa, his last seasons leave doubts on his real potential. In Italy, observers were surprised to see him take the direction of Paris.

"He is a bit the ideal replacement," confirms Emanuele Gamba, journalist following Juve for La Repubblica. He knew he would have this status when he arrived from Milan in 2017 and thereafter, he never claimed anything. It must be said that he is a rather shy player. He is satisfied with twenty games per season. He's technically reliable, even if he doesn't do extraordinary things. He doesn't have big weaknesses, nor big strengths either. "
