First of all, the Bianconeri will need to hire a new sporting director and technical director, as Comolli explained on Tuesday.

According to Gazzetta, Juventus will be looking for a new defender, two midfielders, and one forward this summer.

As for the backline, Leonardo Balerdi is one of the Old Lady’s primary targets. Despite Roberto De Zerbi’s reluctance to sell the Argentine, Juventus will attempt to offer Nico Gonzalez or Samuel Mbangala, along with a cash proposal.

Other centre-backs on the Bianconeri’s agenda are Giovanni Leoni of Parma and Fiorentina’s Pietro Comuzzo.
