Juventus Identify Their Centerpieces on the Transfer Market

With the loss to Inter extinguishing the feeble hopes of a Scudetto comeback, Juventus will use the remaining matches to evaluate their players ahead of the next transfer market window. The future of several regulars is uncertain, considering their contractual statuses or uneven performances.

Massimiliano Allegri will turn his focus onto the Coppa Italia. He has never finished a season empty-hadned during his time in Turin. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the coach has identified Wojciech Szczesny, Danilo, Leonardo Bonucci, Manuel Locatelli, Denis Zakaria, Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa as the building blocks for the future.

Juventus will inevitably be busy in the transfer market in the summer. They have plenty of question marks across the roster. Giorgio Chiellini might retire or move to the MLS. Paulo Dybala is on his way out, which should lead to a tactical change. 4-3-3 should be the main scheme next season. The Bianconeri will need to find a top-notch winger to pair with Chiesa. Nicolò Zaniolo is their primary target. However, Giacomo Raspadori, Angel Di Maria, and Ousmane Dembélé will likely be easier to capture.

The Old Lady do not want to spend much to keep Alvaro Morata. They could let him go back to Atletico Madrid for a season and sign him for free in 2023, the publication adds. Moise Kean has mostly been disappointing. Among those on expiring contracts, Juan Cuadrado and Mattia De Sciglio are likely to re-up. Federico Bernardeschi has strong chances to flee as the parties are not close to coming to terms. Mattia Perin is looking around to see whether he could be a starter elsewhere. Although, he is not a lock to depart just yet.
