Secco : Players will be leaving

Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco has confirmed that Christian Pasquato as well as a number of other players are leaving the side.

The transfer guru has been busy wheeling and dealing all summer and his work load shows no sign of getting lighter as he begins to send players out on loan to gain experience.

“A lot of our younger players have done superbly during pre-season,” Secco told Juventus Channel. Many of them will go out on loan to the lower league teams to gain experience. Pasquato is leaving and there are plenty of Serie B sides interested in him. We are currently evaluating which team is more suitable for him."

Empoli and Grosseto are favourites to take the player on for this season.

Juventus are also looking at some arrivals for the midfield with Lazio’s Christian Ledesma on the horizon. Claudio Ranieri is a big fan of the Argentine midfielder and reports in Italy claim he is likely to arrive given his poor relationship with the Aquilotti.
