Juventus have significant work to complete in the transfer market this summer, and their plans will not focus only on arrivals. The Bianconeri are also expected to make changes by allowing some of their current players to leave.
Several members of the squad underperformed last season, and if he had the opportunity, Luciano Spalletti could replace a large percentage of the players currently at the club. The manager believes improvements are needed if Juventus are to compete more effectively.
Juventus prepare for squad changes
Spalletti is prepared to give another opportunity to players such as Douglas Luiz and Teun Koopmeiners, but that will not apply to everyone in the squad. The coach wants better options available and expects changes to be made during the summer window.
Juventus are therefore preparing to offload several players, with Nicolas Gonzalez and Michele di Gregorio among the names expected to leave the Allianz Stadium in the coming weeks. Their departures could help the club reshape the squad and create room for new additions.
Gonzalez and Di Gregorio face uncertain futures
Gonzalez spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid, and he is interested in returning to the Spanish club. Atletico are also in discussions with Juventus about a possible move for the attacker this summer.
However, both sides still need to find a compromise before they can reach an agreement over his signature. The negotiations are expected to continue as they attempt to find a solution that satisfies everyone involved.
As reported by Tuttojuve, Di Gregorio has also been told to find a new club, with Juventus currently working to sell the goalkeeper and improve their squad. The Bianconeri want to make important changes and believe departures will be necessary to build a stronger team.
Juventus will need to manage these exits carefully because they must balance reducing the squad with ensuring they have enough quality replacements. The club’s transfer activity this summer will be crucial in determining whether Spalletti can create the team he wants.
