In a period of necessity, the objective is to turn limitations into a virtue. Juventus are waiting — and inevitably so. These are the days when the club defines its budget, when priorities become clearer and financial boundaries are set.
Only then will it become clearer how teams, especially the big ones, will rebuild their squads — clubs that usually have more departures than arrivals.

Within that context, there may also be room for unexpected opportunities: players who no longer fit in one system but could thrive elsewhere. The market — and history — is full of such examples. Andrea Pirlo is the most striking one.
For now, Juventus remain in a holding pattern, waiting for the right moment to shape the squad that will be led by Luciano Spalletti.
Left flank options and Real Madrid market opportunities
One indication concerns the left side. While waiting for developments around Andrea Cambiaso, one of the names proposed in recent hours is Fran García, a player who had already been linked with the club in the past reportsTuttosport.
He was not favored by Igor Tudor, who preferred a more physical profile, and he would not necessarily be the first choice for Spalletti either, who is reportedly looking for a more defensively reliable full-back capable of working closely with the centre-backs.
García, under contract until 2027, has interest in Spain but is also open to a new experience after progressing through Real Madrid’s system — aside from loan spells at Rayo Vallecano. Now 26, he combines youth with experience and could be ready for a step abroad.
Another name on the radar is Franco Mastantuono, the 18-year-old Argentine talent with an Italian passport, valued at around €50 million.
Considered too raw for Real Madrid at this stage, he is expected to go out on loan first — potentially to a league that can enhance his technical and striking qualities.
Juventus evaluating the players
The same applies to Dani Ceballos, who has one year left on his contract and is once again considering leaving the Spanish capital. Juventus are keeping him in consideration, but their midfield strategy is aimed at a higher-level profile.
The true reference point in discussions with Real Madrid appears to be Brahim Díaz — the type of player Juventus would ideally like to build their attacking midfield around.
The broader expectation is that Real Madrid’s decisions could trigger a domino effect that may also reach Turin. For now, Juventus continue to monitor developments closely, aware that many of their key targets depend on how the Spanish giants shape their squad in the coming weeks.
