Juventus Bernabè Transfer Hits Parma Wall

Adrien Bernabè’s name is circulating in Turin. But a move to Juventus looks very unlikely.

In fact, the chances of a done deal are slim. Parma has no intention of letting go of any important players in the January transfer window.

Leoni’s off to Liverpool, Bonny’s off to Inter, Sohm’s off to Fiorentina, Mihaila’s off, Man’s off, Cancellieri’s back to Lazio…to sum it up, Parma will definitely be on the lookout for new players in January, not the other way around.

Parma’s plan is to keep their best players in the January transfer window. Starting with Bernabè and Pellegrino, who are two of the main players in Cuesta’s team, is a must do.

Parma Decide to Keep Their Core

Parma managing director Federico Cherubini has already made clear to everyone that “Mateo Pellegrino is not going anywhere“.

The other star player who’s hotly tipped in Italy and Europe is Adrian Bernabè, who’s expected to play today against Napoli in a tricky match, but one in which Parma are confident after their success in Lecce.

The midfield playmaker is getting more and more attention thanks to his first real season as an absolute star.

The good and bad times and crazy performances are all over now. Bernabè has become a reliable name on the scene, with a consistent offering of top-notch products.

The Spanish player, who trained at Manchester City, has it all, which is why the Ducal club wants to speed things up.

“I’ve been feeling good for a while now, I’ve scored two goals and it’s good to keep it going. Before Udinese, we were doing really well. These matches help us understand what went wrong and improve.”

Bernabè Renewal Becomes a Priority

The player’s contract is up in the summer of 2027, so it’s not just a case of thinking about renewing it, it’s a real priority now.

The clubs have been in talks for a while, and Parma reckon an agreement will be done soon with a contract that’ll last at least until the summer of 2029.

For now, this’ll make sure they’re together in the future, or, if not, that he can negotiate his way out of the club in the summer.

“I know Italian football, Parma and the facilities well. I like to think of myself as a bit of a mentor and I always try to help out anyone who’s new. We’re all on the same page in the dressing room. A lot of new players have arrived who still need to settle in, but the team is united and the dressing room is strong.”
