Several Juventus players were called up for the World Cup in North America, and the Bianconeri hoped the tournament would provide a valuable opportunity to increase interest in players they are looking to offload this summer. The club believed strong performances on the international stage could encourage potential buyers to make offers during the transfer window.
Many of the players Juventus no longer sees as part of their long-term plans were given the chance to represent their countries at the World Cup. However, several of them failed to meet expectations, making it more difficult for the club to generate significant interest in their services.
Juventus disappointed by World Cup displays
-------------------------------------------
According to [Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Juventus/06-07-2026/juve-ai-mondiali-delusioni-per-bremer-koopmeiners-e-david-il-mercato-si-complica.shtml), Juventus had hoped that players such as Jonathan David and Teun Koopmeiners would produce stronger performances during the competition. The report states that the club believed impressive displays could have increased their transfer value and attracted interest from leading clubs.
Instead, David reportedly did little to change Juventus’ position as the club continues to look for a buyer during the current transfer window. Koopmeiners also endured a disappointing tournament after receiving a surprise call-up to the Netherlands squad.
The midfielder was limited to only a few minutes from the bench throughout the competition and was unable to demonstrate the qualities that Juventus had hoped prospective clubs would see. His lack of playing time meant he had little opportunity to make a lasting impression.
Transfer plans remain unchanged
-------------------------------
Juventus had also hoped to sell Gleison Bremer during this transfer window. However, the defender did not feature for Brazil and remained on the bench throughout the competition, preventing him from showcasing his ability on the international stage.
As a result, Juventus must now rely on Bremer’s performances over the last few seasons to convince interested clubs that he remains a worthwhile signing. Without the added exposure of the World Cup, the club may find negotiations more challenging.
Despite the disappointing tournament for several of their players, Juventus will continue working to reshape the squad before the transfer window closes, with departures remaining an important part of their plans.
