I am talking about the absurd notion that Claudio Marchisio might leave. These rumors have been around the last couple of transfer seasons, but that doesn't make it any easier to hear. Marchisio has been at the club for 20 years, that kind of loyalty should not be thrown away. He got his real chance to shine in Juventus darkest period: 2006 Calciopoli Scandal, he was the one bright spark for the future of the team.
In that time he had the chance to shine without the pressure of Serie A, he flourished, and with that under his belt he has grown into a vital part of the team. After Juve were promoted back to Serie A he was loaned out to Empoli, seeing as though he was still very young, being under a constant pressure to perform could have hindered his performance. It was a wise move as he is now a very important part of the team and has even been tauted as the next captain.
The last few seasons have seen him come into his own, this current season may have seen Arturo Vidal take much of the limelight, but he was still an important player providing assists, goals and making intelligent runs from midfield and even some vital goal line clearances. His versatility will be vital to Juventus' European campaign next season and they can't afford to lose him!
The lack of Juventus' denial to the rumors of him leaving may have made him feel unloved, as he has been quoted as saying; "that if Juve don't want him he'll consider other clubs", but he has to know how a move away from Turin will crush the fans. Plus a move to either France or England will hardly be good for his career, just ask Zlatan and Tevez who are both rumored to be heading for the Italian peninsular.
DON'T GO CLAUDIO, WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!
