Another defensive departure for Juventus, as young Brazilian centre-back Pedro Felipe leaves the club to join Sassuolo. Following Daniele Rugani’s exit, the 20-year-old is now set to continue his development in Serie A with the Neroverdi.
IlBianconero report that negotiations between the two clubs had been ongoing for several days and have now reached a full agreement. Pedro Felipe is putting pen to paper on his new deal with Sassuolo, finalising his move during the closing stages of the winter transfer window.
Loan Deal with Option to Buy
Juventus and Sassuolo have agreed on a loan deal that includes an option to buy at the end of the season. While not a permanent transfer, the arrangement effectively places the player’s future in Sassuolo’s hands, as the club can choose to activate the purchase clause should they be impressed by his performances.
Juventus Retain a Future Sell-On Clause
As part of the negotiations, Juventus secured a sell-on clause to ensure a share of any future transfer profits. Should Sassuolo make the loan permanent and later sell Pedro Felipe to another club, the Bianconeri would receive a percentage of that resale fee.
Pedro Felipe’s Record with Juventus
Although regularly named among the first-team call-ups, Pedro Felipe has yet to make his senior debut for Juventus. Instead, he has played a key role for Juventus Next Gen, featuring in sixteen league matches this season and scoring two goals.
