Juventus has officially kicked off the new season at Continassa, but the enthusiasm for the restart is tempered by an alarming fact: as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, at least five key players are missing from the roll call.
Igor Tudor, confirmed as the technical director, finds himself with an incomplete squad and many uncertainties. The transfer market is still open, but time is running out. Operations are complex, negotiations are long, and the profiles to be traced are anything but obvious.
The goal? To remain competitive and raise the bar compared to last year. Between dreams, hot names, and heavy departures, the Juventus construction site is more alive than ever.
The big dilemma of the Juventus summer is called Dusan Vlahovic: if he leaves, two forwards are needed. With Milik on his way out and Jonathan David already taken, Tudor has asked for a real center forward. The first name on the list is Randal Kolo Muani, but PSG does not give discounts and the negotiation risks dragging on.
Alternatives? Santiago Castro from Bologna and Højlund from Manchester United are liked, but no one has yet set foot in Turin. Tudor waits and in the meantime prepares stopgap solutions.
In the middle of the offensive field the situation is more serene, but two names remain in the balance: Nico Gonzalez, ready to leave, and Jadon Sancho, at odds with United and intrigued by the Juventus idea.
Sancho is an ambitious operation, but Comolli is working on it behind the scenes. A coup like Di Maria? Maybe, but with more margins for the future.
In goal, Emil Audero is being monitored as Di Gregorio's backup, but everything depends on the possible departure of Perin.
In defense, Rugani's future remains in the balance, but the priorities are elsewhere: Tudor has asked for a reliable central defender for rotation.
The most concrete names are Balerdi from Marseille and Chabot from Stuttgart, both international profiles with experience.
This is where a good chunk of the season will be played: Douglas Luiz and McKennie may leave, Miretti is liked by Napoli and Locatelli-Thuram are not enough. The club's idea is to bet on a reliable starter and an economical alternative. Hjulmand is the dream, but it costs.
Bissouma and Cristante (low cost) are also liked, but the hot name is Amrabat, valued at 15 million by Fenerbahçe. A muscular director to bring order to the midfield.
