Injuries, limited playing time (14 starts in 35 games, 1,547 minutes) and stats at half mast (1 goal, 1 assist)… Leandro Paredes’ loan to Juventus Turin was hardly conclusive. Logically, the Italian club will not exercise the option to buy 22 million euros from the Argentinian midfielder, under contract with PSG until June 2024.
Juventus formalized their decision on Friday in a statement titled “Grazie Leandro”. “Leandro Paredes’ adventure at Juventus is over, says the transalpine club. The midfielder, born in 1994, returns to PSG after a season on loan with the Bianconeri. These few months have been intense for him, who ends his experience with a total of 35 appearances: the first in Florence, at home against Fiorentina, and the last in Udine, in the 1-0 victory against Udinese. In between, he won the World Cup with Argentina in Qatar. As a bianconero he also scored a goal, the splendid free-kick in the 2-1 home win over Lecce, and provided an assist for Milik during Juventus-Benfica. Now is the time for him to start a new chapter. Thank you for this year and good luck for the future, Leandro! »
Thank you Leander ????????

The world champion will therefore return to PSG, at least temporarily: “I have to return to PSG, he said in an interview with Tyc Sport. But for now, I want to enjoy my vacation. Going back to Boca is not a possibility today, it’s not in my plans, maybe later. I am 28 years old, I am young and I want to stay in Europe. I discussed it with my family, my friends. “He also mentioned Luis Enrique, the future coach of PSG: “He would suit PSG very well, everyone speaks well of him”.
