The young midfielder Adin Licina, currently on loan at Cremonese, could leave the grey-red club as early as January. His performances, which saw Juventus accumulate two goals in seven appearances across the Italian Cup and Serie B, attracted the attention of two European clubs: Brighton & Hove Albion of the Premier League and RB Leipzig of the Bundesliga.
Licina, born in 2007, was transferred from his parent club Bayern Munich to Juventus last February for free. Since then he has proven to be a key element for Cremonese, contributing with goals and assists in a championship in which the club is going through a difficult period, especially after the recent change of manager. Despite his young age, the midfielder has already shown a level of play that has impressed foreign observers.
According to Sky Sport sources, Juventus, owners of the card, will have to decide whether to allow Licina to continue his experience in Serie B or whether to accept an offer from one of the two interested clubs. A transfer to Brighton or Leipzig would represent a significant capital gain for Juventus, given that the player was acquired for free from Bayern. However, Cremonese has little negotiating power: any negotiations will have to respect the will of the club that owns the German talent.
The grey-red club risks losing one of its strengths after just six months of collaboration. If Juventus were to accept an offer, Cremonese would find themselves having to reconsider their team strategy for the rest of the season. At the moment, the final decision rests with Juventus management, who will have to weigh the economic benefits against the need to keep a key player at home. The January transfer window therefore promises to be a crucial moment for Licina and for the two teams involved.
