Juventus has completed a particularly ambitious transfer window, with the stated desire of Luciano Spalletti and his management to build a squad capable of quickly returning to the summits of Italian football. The Turin club notably struck hard by investing in several offensive profiles and considerably strengthening its defensive sector, while seeking to maintain a certain coherence in its sporting project. The arrival of Randal Kolo Muani, the recruitment of Nick Woltemade and the investment made in several young talents including Jeff Ekhator and Kerim Alajbegovic and Pape Matar Sarr have thus illustrated this desire for renewal. After a period of reconstruction, the Old Lady now intends to regain real stability and have a sufficiently competitive group to play leading roles on the national and European scenes. In this context, management does not only want to think about the next recruits and future transfer windows. She is also starting to look at the conservation of certain elements that have become important in the balance of the team, with the idea of securing several executives or players with high potential before their contractual situation becomes a real subject. According to our information, two files are starting to take an important place in the thoughts of the management of Juventus, those of Pierre Kalulu and Francisco Conceição.
Both players showed a sufficiently interesting level last season to convince the club to want to continue the adventure in the long term. In Serie A, Kalulu, under contract until 2029, had established himself as a particularly reliable solution in the defensive sector, with 28 appearances for a goal and an assist, while Conceição had brought his percussion and creativity to the offensive sector with 26 matches played, four goals and five assists. Turin’s desire is not to take the risk of seeing two elements considered important for the continuation of the project leave. Pierre Kalulu had also aroused several desires during the last summer transfer window, particularly in the Premier League, while Paris Saint-Germain was also interested in his situation. The discussions were ultimately unsuccessful since the former AC Milan defender wanted to continue his adventure with the Old Lady. From now on, management wants to anticipate rather than endure and is working on the idea of an extension for the Frenchman, just like for Francisco Conceição, whose lease will end in June 2030. The two files thus constitute two priority projects for the coming months, with the objective of quickly securing their future in Turin and protecting Juventus in the face of the interest that their performances could once again arouse.
