Fourth in Serie A with one more point than AS Roma and two more units than Lazio, Juventus will still have to fight to ensure its presence in the Champions League. The outcome of a season badly managed by the Turin club whose outcome can however be positive in the event of a new qualification in the Champions League. And the Vecchia Signora does not want to know the same situation next season and has already started to prepare for the next exercise.
And if several arrivals like Victor Osimhen (Naples) and Sandro Tonali (Newcastle) are hoped for, that of a new coach is compulsory and the hottest track leads to Antonio Conte. In the process of being crowned with Napoli, the Italian coach could thus return to a club where he evolved between 2011 and 2014, winning three national titles. Antonio Conte will nevertheless want to have means to recruit and this will go through sales. That's good, Juventus has planned many departures.
Large files to manage
Already at the attack level, the club will undergo a complete overhaul as pointed out La Gazzetta dello Sport. Loaned by Paris Saint-Germain, Randal Kolo Muani (26) rendered Serie A Services with 7 goals in 15 games but the fact that it cost 95 million euros to the Ile-de-France club two years ago makes a transfer very complicated. His friends at the number 9 post, do not necessarily have more future in Turin. Arkadiusz Milik (31 years old) was extended until 2027, but only to smooth his salary and make his departure easier for any interested clubs.
Dušan Vlahović (25) who cost € 83.5 million three years ago arrived at a year of contract and its extension is dead. Author of an average season (15 goals and 5 assists in 40 games), he is on the market in order to collect a certain amount and also relieve his salary of € 12 million annual. Industrial disaster costing € 51.5 million, Douglas Luiz (27) has failed to adapt since his arrival from Aston Villa and the door is shown to him. His beautiful rating in the Premier League could facilitate a quick return to England.
Juventus will clean up
Having been lend seven players this season including Randal Kolo Muani, Juventus will also have to decide. If for Michele Di Gregorio (Monza), Nico Gonzalez (Fiorentina) and Pierre Kalulu (AC Milan), continuity seems assured, this is clearly less the case for Lloyd Kelly (Newcastle). Arrived against a loan with option to buy 30 million from FC Porto, Francisco Conceição (22 years old) was too irregular and Juventus may not keep it to use this sum for reinforcements. Different situation for Renato Veiga (21). If the defender was interesting, Chelsea hopes for a good sum for him and Juventus is not really willing to settle it.
Goalkeeper Mattia Perin (32) could also leave the club for a job of holder elsewhere. Finally, Juventus will have to settle the case of many young people like Samuel Mbangula (21), Vasilije Adžić (19), Jonas Rouhi (21) and Nicolo Savona (22). If the first three could be loaned except irresistible transfer offer. For Nicolo Savona, its possible arrival in Manchester City as we have announced, makes Juventus likely to let it go to have more liquidity this summer. The Turin revolution has already started.
