This was written on a Juve website:
The questions, and the potential issue, arise when you look at Napoli's other right back: Elseid Hysaj. The young Albanian had an absolutely tremendous campaign for the partenopei, and you could argue that he had a better season at the back than Vrsaljko. The Croatian is the better player in the final third, but in terms of defensive duties, Hysaj clearly outshone him last season.
So what happens to Hysaj now? You don't spend that much money on a player to plonk him on the bench -- well, unless you're Juventus or a big English club -- and Napoli can't afford to spend that on an occasional defensive rotational option. It's not like Vrsaljko would accept this move if that was to be his role anyways. Sure, you need depth in the Champions League, but two clear starting-quality right backs seems a tick excessive, not to mention hard to balance in terms of playing time. So what happens to Hysaj? Is he being sold, or is a quality player being doomed to the bench?
End
I think Hysaj must be leaving, Bayern, City, Atletico wherever. I think he is going now. Amazing for Albania to have a player at one of those clubs. What a draw this would be for diaspora players if we have a worldwide known player. He is only 22 aswell. Bravo Elseid.
