Juventus are starting to gear up for the summer transfer window, planning to lighten up their squad a little as Massimiliano Allegri’s project takes a step forward.
The Bianconeri are in a strong position heading into the 2024-25 season, almost certainly guaranteeing their spot in the Champions League. The club also have a good chance of qualifying for the new Club World Cup, with their spot dependant on Napoli’s progression in Europe this term.
Juventus have started to slip behind Inter in the title race this term, sitting seven points behind the league leaders, who have a game in hand. Their Scudetto hopes are now looking slim, allowing them to start focusing on next season.
Pages two to seven of today’s Tuttosport detail how Juventus have started to plan out which players will leave in the summer in order to make space for new transfers and who will stay for the long-term.
Paul Pogba and Alex Sandro both seemed destined to officially depart in the summer, and Moise Kean will likely be sold considering that his contract expires in 2025. Should Kean stay, Arkadiusz Milik would leave instead.
Regarding young talents, the Bianconeri are open to loan offers for Samuel Iling-Junior, Fabio Miretti and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, believing all three could benefit from more consistent playing time in Serie A.
Another consideration for Juventus ahead of the summer transfer window is the still unknown Carlos Alcaraz, who joined from Southampton on loan last month. His expensive buy option means he’ll really need to impress to earn a definitive transfer.
Juventus also want to lock down Adrien Rabiot and Daniele Rugani to new contracts. The former will be more expensive than the latter, but the plan is to resolve the situations of both ahead of June.
