Giovinco is regarded as one of Europe’s most explosive young
talents, but his future at Juventus is uncertain due to two major
reasons.
First of all the 21-year-old is currently in a contract dispute
with the club. Giovinco is asking for an increase in salary to €1m
a year but so far the club’s management is refusing to meet his
demands.
Secondly, Giovinco is deeply unhappy about his lack of first team
action, having only a few weeks ago claimed that he needs to play
with continuity.
The fantasista has played just 25 minutes of Juventus’ five
official games this season, a substitute appearance against
Artmedia in the Champions League preliminaries in August.
Indeed Giovinco was not even on the bench during Wednesday night’s
win over Zenit St Petersburg.
This has deeply upset the youngster and, according to Leggo, he may
now consider a move to Arsenal.
The Premiership giants have long been linked with a move for
Giovinco, and their manager Arsene Wenger is known to be a huge
admirer.
Reports in England claim that The Gunners will table a bid for the
attacking midfielder in January, a transfer Giovinco may strongly
consider unless his contract and lack of playing time improves very
soon.
