Juventus swoop in, agree to deal for Inter transfer target Juan Cabal

Surprise transfer move incoming!

 

 

 

Because of financial issues both clubs have had over the last couple of years, it hasn’t been often that Juventus and Inter Milan have rivaled one another for a player on the transfer market. When they have rivaled one another for a player, that has usually meant Juve coming in and snatching an Inter target right from under their noise, the most notable being Bremer two summers ago in the wake of Matthijs de Ligt heading to Bayern Munich.

 

Well, my friends, I have something to say: It’s time to add another one to the list.

 

According to multiple reports, Juventus and Hellas Verona have agreed to a deal for fullback Juan Cabal. What makes it all the more of a surprising move is that Juve’s arch rival, Inter, looked all set themselves to sign Cabal until about 12 hours ago before Cristiano Giuntoli jumped in and snatched the 23-year-old Colombian away from Beppe Marotta’s hands. Juve will reportedly pay around €12 million to Hellas Verona for Cabal, who arrived in Italy from Colombia in 2022 after playing for Atlético Nacional.

 

Cabal will be paid around €1.2 million per season.

 

Considering that this will be a deal involving two Serie A clubs, Juventus are still able to make it happen even though Cabal would normally take up a non-EU spot on the roster. ............

 

Cabal, on paper, very much fits the mold of what you would expect a Thiago Motta-managed fullback would like to do. ............

 

Sound defensively and somebody who is able to contribute on the offensive end of things? Well, well, well .. that sounds like something that Motta can certainly use on his team. It will reportedly cost Juventus a couple million euros more than what Inter was set to pay. ............

 

Cabal will be just the second-ever Colombian player to appear for Juventus’ senior squad after Cuadrado.

Is Cabal a new Calafiori for Thiago Motta at Juventus?

 

 

Juventus are on the verge of signing Juan Cabal from Hellas Verona and the two roles the Colombian can cover suggest he may be a new Riccardo Calafiori for Thiago Motta in Turin.

 

Verona defender Cabal arrived in Turin this morning to undergo medical tests with Juventus ahead of a permanent €12m transfer, including add-ons. ............

 

His versatility reminds of Bologna star Calafiori who joined the Rossoblu as a left-back last summer, but developed into a centre-back under Motta at the Stadio Dall’Ara in 2023-24.

 

Motta will be unveiled as the new Juventus coach at a press conference later today when he will likely discuss his ideas on Cabal. ............

 

 

There are, however, clear differences between the two defenders, as their price tags suggest.

 

As mentioned, Cabal will move to Turin on a €10m deal plus €2m add-ons, while Calafiori is expected to join Arsenal for over €50m. ............

 

Cabal is a year older than Calafiori, but the Italian international was clearly unaffordable for the Bianconeri after impressive performances for Bologna and during the Euros. ............

Official: Juan Cabal completes Juventus transfer

 

 

Juventus have officially signed Juan Cabal from Hellas Verona for €11m plus up to another €3.8m in bonuses, snatching him from under the noses of Inter.

 

The left-back, who can also play as a central defender, had been all set for a move to San Siro after the clubs agreed a €10m plus bonuses move and personal terms too.

 

However, yesterday Juve swooped in and suddenly managed to secure a deal instead. ............

 

Juventus have paid Verona €11m – payable over three financial years – with the addition of ancillary costs up to €1.8m.

 

There are also performance-related bonuses of up to €2m.

 

Cabal has signed a contract with the Bianconeri to June 2029. ............

Cabal: ‘I was always a Juventus fan as a kid’

 

 

Juan Cabal had a photograph on social media of himself as a child in a counterfeit Juventus jersey, but now gets to wear it for real after an €11m transfer. ‘I was always a Juve fan.’

 

This perhaps explains why the Colombia international was so eager to switch over and join the Bianconeri yesterday, despite having already agreed personal terms and a move to Inter.

 

When Cristiano Giuntoli approached, the 23-year-old had no doubts and passed his medical this morning, completing the transfer from Hellas Verona for €11m plus up to €3.8m in bonuses.

 

“I am very happy, as this is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I am so overjoyed to wear this jersey,” Cabal told the official club website.

 

Following the swoop, an image went viral from Cabal’s social media accounts showing him as a kid in a knock-off Juve shirt.

 

 

“As a kid, I wore this jersey that was not an original one, and now I get to wear the legendary Juventus shirt and I am so happy. I was always a Juve fan.” ............

 

“I am someone who can play both positions, I’m very quick and well-behaved, both on and off the field. My idols are Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos.” ............

 

“Everyone in Colombia is celebrating, because this is an important step for me, my family and all the kids who also have a dream and can see me making it happen.”

Verona president discusses Juventus hijack of Cabal’s move to Inter Milan

 

 

Juventus has just completed the signing of Juan Cabal, despite it initially seeming that he was heading to Inter Milan. ............

 

Juventus managed to hijack the move from their bitter rivals, although Verona’s president Maurizio Setti suggests that they didn’t have a formal agreement with Inter before Juventus stepped in to secure the signing.

 

“No, there has never been a real advantage but internal and shared choices. Everyone is happy, it should always be like this, it is not always like this but today it was good”. ............

Season over for Juventus defender Juan Cabal

 

 

Juventus have received troubling news from the Colombian national team camp, as reports suggest defender Juan Cabal has sustained a season-ending knee injury during training with Colombia. ............

 

While the initial report only confirmed Cabal’s absence from the national team, more concerning news has emerged from Colombia. There are growing fears that the injury could be more severe than initially thought, with speculation about possible cruciate ligament involvement in the knee. ............

 

This injury comes as a considerable blow to Juventus, who are already dealing with defensive challenges. Manager Thiago Motta is currently coping with the prolonged absence of center-back Gleison Bremer, and Cabal’s injury further depletes the team’s defensive options. ............

 

Juventus will be anxiously awaiting the results of further medical examinations to determine the full extent of Cabal’s injury. These tests will provide a clearer picture of the damage and help establish a timeline for his recovery.

Juventus to get conpensation from FIFA over Cabal injury

 

Juventus is set to receive financial compensation from FIFA following the serious ACL injury suffered by Juan Cabal while on international duty with Colombia. The defender, who had recently become an important part of Juventus’ defensive setup, will be sidelined until the end of the season, adding to the club’s growing injury concerns, which already include Gleison Bremer.

 

FIFA’s compensation program, designed to support clubs when players are injured during international duty, ensures that the Bianconeri will recoup part of Cabal’s wages during his absence. Cabal’s annual salary is €2.5 million, and Juventus is expected to receive around €1.7 million from FIFA for the duration of his unavailability. These funds will be paid once the player has fully recovered and is cleared to return to competitive action. ............

 

This injury is a significant blow to Juventus, who have been dealing with a congested fixture schedule and high expectations this season. Cabal’s promising start with the club and his growing influence on the team made his absence even more poignant. ............

 

Ultimately, while financial reimbursement is appreciated, Juventus’ primary concern will be navigating the remainder of the season without two key defensive players. The January transfer window will now play a crucial role in addressing their squad depth and ensuring they remain competitive in pursuing domestic and European success.

Juventus confirm Cabal has torn his ACL and reveals surgery plans

 

Juventus has confirmed that Colombian defender Juan Cabal has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, a significant blow for both the club and the player. ............

 

The injury occurred while Cabal was on international duty. Initially, he remained hopeful it was a minor setback, but upon his return to Italy, he underwent further medical tests at Juventus’ J|Medical facility. The official statement from Juventus clarified the severity of his injury, confirming the ACL tear in his left knee. Juventus announced on their website that “Cabal will undergo surgery in the coming days,” signalling a long recovery process that will likely sideline him for several months.

 

Cabal’s absence is a major concern for Juventus, as he is the second key defender they’ve lost to an ACL injury this season, following the earlier sidelining of Gleison Bremer. Losing two starting defenders so early in the campaign places Juventus in a difficult position. ............

 

The club’s response in the January transfer market will be critical, as they work to bring in defensive reinforcements capable of sustaining their campaign.

 

Juventus will need to rely on the resilience of their remaining squad members as they navigate these challenging circumstances. For Cabal, this marks a setback in his promising start at the club, but with the right support and rehabilitation, he will look forward to returning stronger next season.
