Juventus find Cabal refusal to join Bologna frustrating | OneFootball

Juventus are reportedly frustrated that Juan Cabal is refusing to leave, turning down a possible loan move to Bologna.

The summer has largely been one of renewal in Turin, but also irritation that some unwanted players are blocking their transfer strategy.

Jonathan David is one of those who has so far rebuffed attempts at a sale, while La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Cabal is infuriating the Juve directors.

The 25-year-old was purchased from Hellas Verona in 2024 for €12.8m plus add-ons, but struggled to make his mark with the Old Lady.

Following the costly red card in the Champions League play-off against Galatasaray in February, Cabal has been completely abandoned by coach Luciano Spalletti, not getting a single minute on the field.

Despite that obvious rejection, the Colombia international is not prepared to accept a loan move to Bologna, nor does he seem particularly eager to find himself another club.

He managed only 19 competitive appearances last term, none in the last six months.
