With just twenty days left before the start of the season, Juventus faces a critical period. The club aims to reach around 100 million euros in outgoing transfers to fuel new signings.
This isn’t about rushing deals but making strategic sales at the right price. For coach Igor Tudor and the management, selling before buying is essential to building a competitive squad for the upcoming Serie A campaign.

The league kicks off on August 24th, when Juventus will face Parma at the Allianz Stadium. Time is running out, but the club’s sporting director, Federico Cherubini, remains calm despite the pressing schedule.
While the transfer window closes on September 1st at 8 PM, ideally, Tudor wants his key reinforcements in place before the season begins. These initial signings will likely be the main starters, while last-minute additions can still be made later if needed.
Balancing sales and signings starting from Timothy Weah

The 100 million euro target is ambitious but achievable, depending largely on successful sales reports La Gazzetta dello Sport. Juventus expects to move several players for significant fees: Timothy Weah’s transfer to Marseille is completed at around 18 million euros.
These figures alone nearly hit the target, but the club also anticipates further departures, including Arthur Melo and players with contracts ending in 2026 like Rugani, Djalò, Kostic, and McKennie.
Currently, only Alberto Costa and Mbangula are officially listed as exits, which is insufficient to fully fund new signings.

Expanding the list of sales will allow Juventus to strengthen key areas. The club is targeting a forward, with Randal Kolo Muani high on the list to finalize the attack.
For midfield reinforcements, names like Hjulmand and O’Riley are under consideration, along with potential “mystery” signings to add quality depth. Defensive options are also being explored to provide Tudor with more choices.

In essence, Juventus’ transfer strategy balances patience with urgency. The club wants to avoid panic selling, maintaining control over negotiations to ensure the best possible returns.
At the same time, the clock is ticking, and every move will be crucial in shaping a squad ready to compete for honors. The next twenty days will reveal how well Juventus navigates this critical transfer phase, balancing outgoing deals with the incoming talent Tudor needs.
