Leonardo Spinazzola looks set to return from his loan spell with Atalanta, is there an update on that?
“It’s well known that he’s our player, our asset,” Marotta noted.
“It’s common knowledge that we need a profile like his within our squad, but it’s also true we entered into a two-year agreement with Atalanta which we want to honour, because there’s mutual respect between us.
“The fact remains though that this young lad knows Juventus have this need. And, being owned by Juventus, knowing full well that this is an important opportunity, it’s normal that he’s putting on pressure to come to us.
“That’s then going up against the scheduling of Atalanta who quite rightly started planning for their season a long time ago.
“If, in the end, it’s decided that the player will stay there it’ll be up to Atalanta to re-motivate him.
“I want to point out that I spoke to [Atalanta President Antonio] Percassi yesterday and the relationship between us is good.
“Right now in football there’s this continuous dynamic of players not turning up to training or who have to handle certain situations.
“In my opinion Spinazzola’s behaviour is the normal, spontaneous reaction of someone who knows he has the chance to wear the Juventus shirt, and that’s not a small thing.
“We’ve spoken to Spinazzola in recent days and made it clear that we have confidence in him.
“Of course it’s clear that everything can change from year to year and nothing is guaranteed for the future…”
