At Juventus’ Continassa training ground, space is limited—especially with such a large squad currently on the books. This situation stems from a strategic shift under sporting director Damien Comolli, who has clearly deviated from his predecessor’s methods.

There are no “Team B” training groups and no isolated players. Even those set to leave or with little chance under head coach Igor Tudor are fully integrated for now.

Several players have returned from loan, including Arthur, Djalò, Facundo Gonzalez, Miretti, and Rugani. So far, the only confirmed departures this summer are Alberto Costa (replaced by Joao Mario) and Samuel Mbangula.

Juventus’ depth: From starters to surplus

The core of the starting XI is mostly in place. However, the transfer market is far from closed, and further changes are expected.

Currently, the likely first-choice lineup under Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 formation includes:

JUVENTUS (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kalulu; Joao Mario, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceição, Yildiz; David.

Changes are anticipated. Juventus is targeting a right-sided wing-back to challenge Joao Mario. A top-tier midfielder could also arrive, which may push Locatelli out of the starting eleven. Up front, Jonathan David awaits the arrival of a competitor for the striker position.

The backup unit—equally structured in a 3-4-2-1—shows both depth and uncertainty:

JUVENTUS “B” (3-4-2-1): Perin; Rugani, Kelly, Cabal; Savona, Douglas Luiz, McKennie, Kostic; Nico Gonzalez, Koopmeiners; Vlahović.

Many of these players are transfer candidates, including Perin, Douglas Luiz, McKennie, Nico Gonzalez, and Vlahović. Their futures are tied to market dynamics and incoming offers.

A third team—composed of youth products and returning loanees—rounds out the picture:

JUVENTUS “C” (3-4-2-1): Pinsoglio; Djalò, Facundo Gonzalez, Gil Puche; Savona, Arthur, Miretti, Rouhi; Pietrelli, Adzic; Milik.

Among these, Arthur, Milik, Djalò, and Facundo Gonzalez are not in Juventus’ future plans. Miretti and Adzic still hope to prove themselves, while others like Savona, Pietrelli, and Gil Puche may float between the first team and the Next Gen squad.

Juventus’ squad is deep, but with depth comes the need for decisive moves in the transfer market.
