Juventus: pros and cons of purchasing Man Utd outcast Bastian Schweinsteinger

‘We are looking for opportunities’, that’s what Giuseppe Marotta loves saying during each transfer window.
 The Old Lady’s CEO has already brought to the J Stadium many free agents: from Pirlo to Pogba, from Llorente to Coman, not to mention that he acquired Andrea Barzagli from Wolfsburg for just € 600.000.

According to today’s edition of the Telegraph, Manchester United are offering Marotta a new opportunity: Bastian Schweinsteiger who has been left out of the Red Devils’ squad by Jose Mourinho and whose contract expires in June 2018.

​According to the British tabloid, Schweinsteiger is negotiating to cancel his contract with Manchester United to join Juve. The Germany International has reportedly found agreement with the Old Lady who has offered a € 4 million, two-year deal.

The question is: Can Schweinsteiger increase Juventus’ level or is he a player that the bianconeri do not need? His performances at EURO 2016 and the fact that Mourinho doesn’t want him at the Old Trafford anymore may suggest that Schweini’s best years are behind him.

Juventus’ purchase of Andrea Pirlo in 2011, however, prove that new environment and new club could give the 2014 Germany World Cup winner a fresh start.
