Lichtsteiner will reportedly be allowed to leave Juventus in January

According to Calciomercato.com, Lichtsteiner’s recent performances have “confirmed his decline”, with his display in Sunday’s 3-2 defeat to Sampdoria ‘embarrassing’.

Consequently, the right-back’s time at Juve would be ‘over’ as Mattia De Sciglio and Benedikt Howedes are ready to stake their claims.

The veteran joined Juve from Lazio in 2011 and went on to win six Scudetti with the Bianconeri, but he has been left out of their last two Champions League squads.

Calciomercato adds “it was no coincidence that the door was left open for Lichtsteiner to leave until the last day of the transfer market over the summer.”
