Juventus Brace for Critical Season Start Amid Transfer and Tactical Shuffles

Juventus navigate transfer complexities with tactical adjustments as Serie A looms.

Transfer Watch

Juventus are grappling with the prospect of Dusan Vlahovic remaining at the club, with no significant suitors stepping forward to meet his financial demands or match Juventus’ valuation. The scenario is compounded by the likelihood of him departing for free next summer. As the squad looks to bolster its attack, Juventus are pushing for a reunion with Randal Kolo Muani. However, financial constraints and the necessity to sell current players, including Douglas Luiz, complicate matters.

Meanwhile, Juventus have shown interest in Chelsea's Andrey Santos, as midfield reinforcements become necessary due to anticipated player departures. Yet, the focus remains firm on restructuring the attacking line-up to secure vital goals and re-establish their once-feared frontline.

Tactical Notes

Igor Tudor’s tactical acumen will be tested early as he attempts to recalibrate Juventus’ midfield and attack. One key development is the repositioning of Teun Koopmeiners from an attacking to a central midfield role, aimed at enhancing his impact on the game. This tactical flexibility highlights Tudor's intent to utilise players more effectively to improve stability in the midfield.

Moreover, Jonathan David, despite not scoring in the pre-season friendlies, has impressed with his work rate and could soon find his stride in Serie A under Tudor's dynamic setup, providing crucial attacking depth alongside emerging talents such as Kenan Yildiz.

Squad Insight

In a significant boost for Juventus Women, the team is gearing up for The Women's Cup, considered a critical fitness test ahead of the new season. Manager Massimiliano Canzi emphasises the tournament’s importance in honing tactical and fitness levels against formidable first-division teams like Como Women and Inter. With these preparations, Juventus aim to sharpen their competitive edge, ready to defend their title.
