Juventus are already looking ahead, accelerating their transfer strategies even as the race for a Champions League spot intensifies.
Behind the scenes at Continassa, work is ongoing to shape a squad that is both more competitive and tactically versatile, following the clear vision set out by Luciano Spalletti.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants are determined to refine their midfield options as a priority heading into the summer window.
A Midfield Built for Flexibility
Spalletti’s blueprint revolves around adding both quality and diversity in midfield. While Manuel Locatelli remains a cornerstone—fresh off a contract renewal—the club is actively exploring the addition of another deep-lying playmaker.
The goal is not to replace Locatelli, but to complement him with a player who can unlock different tactical setups. Juventus are aiming for adaptability, ensuring smooth transitions between formations such as 4-2-3-1, 3-4-3, and potentially a more traditional 4-3-3.
This strategic flexibility reflects a broader ambition: to compete at the highest level both domestically and in Europe, where tactical nuance often proves decisive.
Ardon Jashari Emerges as a Target
Among the profiles under close observation is Ardon Jashari, currently at AC Milan but coming off a challenging campaign.
The Swiss midfielder, who joined the Rossoneri from Club Brugge for over €30 million under the guidance of Igli Tare, has struggled to make a consistent impact. Injuries have played a major role, limiting him to just 13 appearances across the season.

In a Milan side coached by Massimiliano Allegri, competition for places has been intense. The presence of experienced figures like Luka Modric has further reduced Jashari’s opportunities, potentially opening the door to a summer exit.
Juventus are carefully monitoring the situation, aware that a player of Jashari’s profile could represent both a short-term solution and a long-term investment.
If circumstances align, the Turin club may be ready to make their move, reinforcing a midfield that could define their ambitions for seasons to come.
