Seasons ago he was an 8 and even played as an attacking Midfielder.
But under Allegri, he was moved down as a regista. He's pretty polarizing in the Juventus fanbase and this season he started off good but his performances started to decline and he got injured and came back and still hasn't been really good and even Sarri criticized his performances a couple of days ago.
I feel like he would have been a good pickup if he was 26-27 but now? Nope. Might as well save your money/player and go after bigger and younger fish next summer if needed.
