The January transfer window is now shut. The Bianconeri did farm out a couple of players on loan deals but failed to rope in a backup striker which is something Andrea Pirlo remained keen on doing.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the top stories involving Juventus from 2 February 2021.
Andrea Pirlo reveals lessons learnt from Inter Milan defeat
Juventus will take on Inter Milan in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia tonight. The last time these two sides squared off was last month in the Serie A and the Old Lady were comprehensively beaten.
Juventus have gone four matches without tasting defeat since that game and now Andrea Pirlo says that his side has learnt from their mistakes.
Speaking to Juventus TV (via quoted carried by Tuttomercatoweb), Pirlo said:
Daniele Rugani joins Cagliari on loan till the end of the season
Once touted to become the next big thing in the Juventus backline, Daniele Rugani’s career has taken a different trajectory altogether as he remains on the fringes.
Rugani was already struggling to break into the first team and the 2019 summer additions, Matthijs De Ligt and Merih Demiral, have pushed him further down the pecking order.
He was farmed out to Rennes subsequently but after picking up a thigh injury, he ended up making just one appearance for the Ligue 1 outfit. He has been deemed surplus to requirements at Juventus and several Serie A sides had lined up to secure his services.
Now, Juventus have confirmed that Cagliari have completed the signing of the 26-year-old on loan till the end of the season.
