Juventus could turn to the January transfer market to strengthen their squad and help Luciano Spalletti get the team’s season back on track.
According to La Repubblica, the Bianconeri are considering mid-season reinforcements to address several weaknesses that have become increasingly apparent in recent performances.

The club’s management reportedly intends to focus on positions where improvements are considered essential, with Spalletti and executives Carnevali and Massara identifying areas that require significant attention.
Three Key Positions Juventus Want to Strengthen
According to La Repubblica, Juventus are particularly interested in signing a new centre-forward, a natural left-back and a midfielder capable of dictating the tempo of the game.
The search for a striker is a major priority. Juventus want a forward with greater clinical ability in front of goal and a stronger presence inside the penalty area. Improving their finishing could prove crucial as Spalletti looks to make the team more effective in attack and turn promising opportunities into goals.
The left-back position is another area of concern. Juventus reportedly want a specialist who can establish himself as the first-choice option, reducing the need to deploy players such as Celik out of position.
Signing a natural left-back would provide greater balance on the flank and allow the coaching staff to build a more consistent defensive structure.
The third priority is a midfielder with strong playmaking abilities. Juventus need a player capable of controlling possession, dictating the rhythm of matches and providing a reliable link between defence and attack.

Spalletti Could Change Formation Before January
Until the transfer window opens and injured players return to action, Spalletti may consider switching to a three-man defence. The tactical adjustment could offer greater protection to the back line while helping Juventus remain competitive during a difficult period.
The immediate objective would be to limit defensive vulnerabilities, stabilise the team’s performances and begin climbing the Serie A table as quickly as possible.
January could therefore represent a decisive moment for Juventus. If the club manages to address its most pressing weaknesses, the reinforcements could give Spalletti the tools he needs to improve results and restore confidence.
Until then, the coach may have to rely on tactical adjustments and the return of injured players to keep the season on track.
