Juventus Football Club recently issued an ultimatum to its Argentine winger Sule, who, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, has been told directly by the club that he must accept one of these offers or face being sent down to the reserves as he has rejected a number of high-priced transfer offers from the Premier League.
The decision stems from Juventus sporting director Ghisolfi's player sale drive to raise funds to bring in new recruits. Despite Ghisolfi's aggressive marketing of non-starters including Sule and Heysen, both rejected multiple offers, especially Sule, who insisted that he only wanted to join Roma FC. However, the offers from Roma did not reach the heights offered by Premier League sides such as Leicester City, much to Juventus' displeasure and disappointment.
In a closed-door meeting without the player's agent and family, Juventus management made the club's position clear to Sule: either accept a suitable offer from the Premier League and continue the upward trajectory of his career, or stay at Juventus but only for the reserves and away from the first-team stage.
Sule did not waver in his resolve in the face of the club's toughness, responding, "OK, I understand. But you must also be clear about one thing: if I leave here, it can only be to Roma." This statement once again emphasizes his deep emotion and willingness to join Roma.
This incident not only tests Sule's professional choice and personal will, but also reflects the complex game between clubs and players in the modern soccer transfer market. Juventus' move undoubtedly sends a clear message to other players: the club's interests are above all, and any attempt to challenge this principle will be severely sanctioned. For Sule, he will have to make a difficult choice between his personal dream and the interests of the club.
