Juventus to cash out on two forwards due to Thiago Motta’s style of play

Juventus are set to announce Thiago Motta as their new manager following the dismissal of Massimiliano Allegri at the end of season.

Thiago Motta’s success at Bologna will see him take his first big managerial role at Juventus and the club are eager to support him on and off the pitch.

Ahead of the arrival, the club have identified two player who will be allowed to leave this summer due to their role in the team and how it won’t work under Thiago Motta.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Filip Kostic and Samuel Iling-Junior could fall victim to the new manager’s restructuring plans.

Kostic and Iling-Junior used to occupy wing-back spots in Allegri’s infamous 3-5-2. However, Motta looks to reshape Juventus with a brand-new formation.

The former Inter midfielder prefers a different set-up. His Bologna side often lined up in a 4-2-3-1, though he’s also comfortable with a 4-3-3.

Juventus signed Kostic from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022 and he will be allowed to leave for a fee in the region of €10 million. Iling-Junior

Iling-Junior has struggled for regular game time and Motta has deemed him surplus to requirements, with Juventus slapping a €20m price tag on the Englishman’s head.
