Weah will find himself taking on the heavy legacy left by Juan Cuadrado on the right wing, who bid farewell after eight seasons in black and white. Juventus is now looking for a deputy, because Mattia De Sciglio is injured and will not be available before the end of the year. Among the hypotheses under study to compensate for the hole in the right wing, behind the former Lille, there is also the permanence of Andrea Cambiasso, returning from loan to Bologna.
