Juventus’ transfer activity is not limited to the first team. Behind the scenes, important work is also being carried out at Continassa and Vinovo, where the club’s youth and Next Gen structures are shaping the future.

Claudio Chiellini, head of Juventus Next Gen, alongside Michele Sbravati, director of the youth sector, are actively involved in securing promising talents while managing outgoing moves to guarantee regular playing time for young players.

One of the most notable incoming deals has already been completed. Chiellini has finalized the signing of Teoman Gündüz, a Turkish midfielder born in 2004, arriving from Triestina.

Gündüz has been in Italy since 2023 and previously had a spell at Lecco before standing out in recent months in Trieste. His performances attracted interest from several clubs, but Juventus moved decisively to bring him into their development system, viewing him as a player with strong growth potential.

Loans, Permanent Transfers and New Targets

Alongside new arrivals, Juventus have also focused on strategic departures. The aim is clear: allow young prospects to gain continuity and experience at senior level.

Crapisto, a 2006-born midfielder, has joined Conquense on loan until June and will play in Spain’s fourth division. Meanwhile, Valdes Ngana will spend the second half of the season in Switzerland with Rapperswil-Jona, a move designed to accelerate his development through consistent minutes.

There has also been a permanent transfer. Silvano Biggi has left Juventus on a definitive deal to Pineto, closing his chapter in black and white.

At the same time, Juventus’ youth department continues to monitor new high-profile prospects. Attention is currently focused on Fortunato Krediet, a highly rated midfielder born in 2010 and currently at Feyenoord reports Giovanni Albanese.

Due to his physical structure and playing style, Krediet is already being compared to Paul Pogba in terms of long-term potential. Talks are ongoing, and Juventus are carefully evaluating the opportunity.

Juventus’ strategy confirms a clear vision: investing in youth, managing development paths intelligently, and building the foundations for long-term success.
