According to Slow Motion Network, Juventus may sell Kuppmenas as early as the winter window. The season has just begun, but there have been criticisms. Just like last season, Kuppmenas once again became a "problem figure" within Juventus.

This player who once shined in Atlanta has not yet shown his original glory at Juventus. As Juventus' most expensive signing in the summer window of 2024 (total price of up to 60.7 million euros, including bonus), he is still a mysterious existence.

Head coach Tudor said confidently in early August: "This will be Kuppmenas' season, and he will play an important role."

However, in the first five games of the season, although Tudor has always given Kuppmenas the opportunity to play, allowing him to serve as the midfield or midfielder, he has never solved the problem of his sluggish state.

Kupmenas played for half an hour against Parma (substituted Locatelli) and performed slightly better; then performed mediocrely against Genoa (substituted Locatelli again) and was only considered qualified. Since then, his performance has deteriorated, arousing dissatisfaction among fans.

In the game against Inter Milan, Kupmenas played behind Vlahovic for 74 minutes without any highlights, and was then replaced by Asic, who scored the winning goal. Tudor continued to trust Kupmenas in the Champions League match against Dortmund. His performance in the first half was OK, but he collapsed in the second half and was responsible for Enmecha's goal, giving his opponent too much room to shoot. In the 69th minute, Kuppmenas was replaced by Locatelli, who brought more balance to the team's midfield after he came on the court.

In the game against Verona, Kuppmenas came on as a substitute in the second half, but was also unable to withstand the vitality and impact of Verona midfielders.

Since Kupmenas joined Juventus, his performance has never met expectations. The club once listed reactivated him as an important goal, but now it seems that it is an out of reach.

Juventus fans have long lost their patience, and now, even the senior executives have begun to find another way out. In recent hours, Juventus' "old lover" Milinkovic's name has been mentioned again by the media, and he is currently playing for the Riyadh Crescent.

Mirinkovic's contract will expire in June next year, so there is room for operation for this transaction. Considering that he will become a free agent by then, Saudi Arabia may be willing to accept lower transfer fees in the winter window. What's more, Milinkovic himself intends to return to Europe.

In any case, although Kuppmenas signed with Juventus in 2029, he is currently at the crossroads of his career: either rebound quickly and prove himself; or being sold by Juventus in January or summer will be an inevitable ending.
