Director Beppe Marotta assured Juventus “will continue trying to improve the squad,” including talks for Paulo Dybala.

A 0-0 draw at the Stade Louis II proved enough to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals thanks to the 1-0 first leg result over Monaco.

“We passed this test with full marks, even if the performance itself was not exceptional and might’ve left a bitter taste in some mouths,” Marotta told Sport Mediaset.

A 0-0 draw at the Stade Louis II proved enough to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals thanks to the 1-0 first leg result over Monaco.

“We passed this test with full marks, even if the performance itself was not exceptional and might’ve left a bitter taste in some mouths,” Marotta told Sport Mediaset.

“I think of how much this group has grown over the years. They still need to do better and can only do so via experience, so we need these games to reach our true dimension.

“We are very happy to sit around the table with the best of the best, aware we’ve done extraordinary things to get here.

“Over the years we have always tried to improve the quality of the squad and over the summer we will continue working in this direction, regardless of the results.

“We are seeking players who can improve the quality level of the team, but it’s not easy to find the right ones.

“Juventus has a notable appeal today and has certainly improved in that sense since when I first arrived. I remember Antonio Di Natale refused a transfer to us, now players line up to come and play in Turin.”

Marotta was asked about number one target Paulo Dybala, who Palermo have labelled with a €40m tag.

“Dybala is an objective, we are talking to President Maurizio Zamparini, but the negotiations are difficult because there are other clubs interested,” confirmed Marotta.

“We are tracking him along with some very experienced players, as that is valuable in Europe.”
