Juve’s moment is definitely delicate and no good news is coming for the Bianconeri: from Fagioli to Rovella, when the Bianconeri’s mistakes are upstream
Juve, Fagioli e i suoi “fratelli”: il corto circuito alla Continassa che provoca solo rimpianti – SerieAnews
It is a difficult time for Juventus. The team has slipped to fifth place, coming off two consecutive defeats that have exposed the current limitations of the lineup. First the ugly setback against Atalanta, with a resounding 0-4 defeat at the Allianz Stadium, and then the heavy thud against Fiorentina, which inflicted a crushing 3-0 defeat on the Bianconeri in Florence.
Now, more than ever, the team seems to have lost the solidity that has distinguished it for years, and the spotlight is on the choices made by the management. In particular, one aspect is emerging with overbearance: regrets related to young players who grew up in Juve’s youth academy and were let go too early.
Juve, quanti rimpianti: Fagioli super contro i bianconeri
Fiorentina-Juventus was one of those defeats that makes you think. And if there was one thing that sparked an avalanche of discussion, it was the roaring applause of the Franchi crowd for Nicolò Fagioli, a young man who grew up in the Bianconeri youth ranks and has now become the new benchmark for the Tuscan team.

At the end of the match, Fagioli said he considered Florence his “new home” after delivering a true leader’s performance, with technical plays and incredible game vision, without even scoring a goal. Juventus’ decision to let him go immediately became one of the biggest contentions of this season.
It is also impossible not to mention Niccolò Rovella, another talent put at the door by Juve but who is finding his size elsewhere. A dynamic, gritty midfielder ready to make his contribution on the field, who Juve decided to let go while the team continues to struggle with the lack of a player with his characteristics.
And then there is also Matías Soule, who is looking for space in Serie A, but who seems to need more confidence to grow the best he can. Juventus often has a habit of not giving the necessary continuity to youngsters, and this is another aspect that raises doubts about the management of these talents.
Gli errori di mercato: un capitolo pieno di delusioni
If the regrets related to the players who grew up in Juve’s youth sector are now evident, we cannot fail to also talk about the market mistakes that have weighed on the team’s balance sheet. In particular, the names of some signings are proving to be a complete fiasco.

Starting with Teun Koopmeiners, who arrived with high expectations but never really able to make an impact on the pitch, to Douglas Luiz, whose impact has been almost nil, despite the heavy investment Juve made in him. Both are symbolic of how Juventus’ market management has disappointed, investing large sums in players who have never shown the expected potential.
In addition to these transactions, there are also the disposals that are causing discussion. Think of the departure of Nicolò Rovella, who could have become the centerpiece of Juventus’ midfield, but instead was sold in January. Another talent who was given the green light to seek his fortune elsewhere, but who could easily have become a pivot in the Juventus project.
And then there is the case of Radu Dragusin, a defender who had few spaces in Turin but showed excellent qualities elsewhere. These are just a few of the emblematic cases of a management that paid little attention to youth and a market that did not bear the desired fruit. Not to mention Huijsen, sold last summer to Bournemouth for 15 million and now worth 60 million after having exploded definitively in the Premier League.
Juve, quanti giovani talenti persi: i rimpianti sono molti
The question now being asked by fans is: How could Juventus have lost so much young talent? Is it possible that these youngsters, if raised within a long-term project, could have made a difference?

Certainly, the team’s current situation raises a bitter question: where would Juve and its youngsters be today if they had given them more trust, more space, more time? Regrets are many, and the market has proven to be another slippery slope.
Now, Juventus is faced with a present that is failing to meet expectations, and a future that, if course is not changed, may prove to be far more uncertain than previously thought.
