According to Corriere dello Sport, more than individual names, what matters most at Juventus right now is the strategy.

With Damien Comolli and Luciano Spalletti renewing their vision and launching a new project for the club, the direction has been clearly shared: build a more solid, experienced, and competitive squad capable of immediately returning to the Scudetto race.

The idea is to avoid risky bets and uncertain profiles, focusing instead on reliable players who can raise the overall level of the team.

A “ready-made” team for immediate impact

Spalletti has requested what has been described as an “instant team” — players ready to contribute immediately rather than long-term projects.

The core already includes young talents, with prospects like Licina potentially stepping up from the Next Gen squad after scoring his first Serie C goal with a long-range left-footed strike.

The financial framework remains controlled by UEFA regulations and ownership group Exor, but the ambition is clear: Juventus wants to return to competing for the title.

Transfer targets: experience, leadership and certainty

In midfield, one of the profiles discussed is Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, the 30-year-old Danish international currently at Olympique Marseille.

A player valued for leadership and reliability, he is seen as a potential partner for Manuel Locatelli. His price is considered manageable, possibly around €15 million.

In goal, Spalletti has requested reinforcements. One of the names mentioned is Alisson Becker, currently at Liverpool, previously coached by Spalletti at Roma.

While highly appreciated for his complete skill set, the operation would be complex due to his high salary and the English club’s stance.

In attack, Juventus is reportedly monitoring Bernardo Silva, who could leave Manchester City as a high-profile free agent, although Barcelona and MLS clubs are also interested.

The future of Dusan Vlahovic, Lois Openda, and Jonathan David will also influence attacking decisions. The club is also ready to return for Randal Kolo Muani, whose situation at PSG could reopen in the summer.
