Juventus are gearing up for a major squad overhaul ahead of the summer transfer window.

With Luciano Spalletti now leading the project, the Bianconeri are approaching the market with a clear and calculated vision: bring in proven quality while maintaining financial sustainabilit.

According to Sportmediaset, several intriguing opportunities are emerging—particularly involving players already familiar with the Italian coach, such as Alisson Becker, Antonio Rüdiger, and Lorenzo Pellegrini.

Goalkeeping Shake-Up and Defensive Plans

Uncertainty continues to surround Michele Di Gregorio’s future in Turin. After a series of inconsistent performances, the former Monza goalkeeper has lost his starting role, and his long-term stay now appears increasingly unlikely.

Juventus are evaluating several options, but Spalletti’s top choice remains Alisson Becker—a player he deeply admires.

Although Liverpool recently extended Alisson’s contract until 2027, a departure cannot be entirely ruled out. Juventus could test the waters with a bid in the region of €15–20 million.

Such an offer might tempt the English club into negotiations, especially to avoid potential complications closer to the end of the goalkeeper’s deal.

Alisson’s experience, composure, and leadership would represent a significant upgrade and a statement signing for the new era.

In defense, Juventus are closely monitoring Antonio Rüdiger. The German center-back’s contract situation with Real Madrid has sparked speculation, particularly given earlier doubts about a renewal due to his age and physical condition.

Spalletti, however, would welcome him without hesitation. Their strong connection dates back to their time together at Roma, where the Italian coach played a key role in Rüdiger’s development.

That said, recent developments suggest Real Madrid may reconsider and extend his deal, seeing him as a valuable mentor for emerging talents. This potential renewal could complicate Juventus’ plans, but the club remains attentive to any opening.

Midfield Opportunity: Pellegrini on the Radar

Another name generating interest is Lorenzo Pellegrini. While he and Spalletti never overlapped at Roma, the coach has long appreciated the midfielder, particularly during his time managing the Italian national team.

Pellegrini’s current contract runs until 2026, but signs point toward a possible departure from the capital sooner rather than later.

At 29, he remains in his prime and could offer versatility and creativity to a Juventus midfield that currently lacks depth. His ability to operate both as an attacking midfielder and in a deeper role makes him an appealing tactical option for Spalletti.

One thing is already certain: Juventus are preparing to reinvent themselves. With Spalletti orchestrating this transformation, the club is set to enter a new cycle—one built on experience, adaptability, and carefully chosen reinforcements.
