Juventus chief Calvo discusses Allegri and Di Maria futures

Juventus chief Francesco Calvo admits players could leave this summer.

Before defeat to AC Milan, Calvo was pushed about Angel di Maria departing at the end of the season and also the future of coach Max Allegri.

He said, "We're a working group, Juventus is more than an individual, including yours truly. We've had the same ownership for a hundred years, millions of fans and these are guarantees. We share everything with the coach and the comparison is always positive: like Allegri said yesterday, there was no veto on his part.

"Certainly the season was demanding, between sentences and more. There was a disappointment in Seville, we felt the backlash for that more than for the sentence."

Asked about Di Maria leaving, Calvo added: "It could be, because their contracts are about to expire. We don't know who will be there next year, but we know the players will want to play tonight."
