Juventus, resounding future unveiled: summer revolution is coming, Cristiano Giuntoli’s plans
Juventus, svelato il futuro: dal mercato di gennaio alla rivoluzione estiva in arrivo – SerieAnews
Juventus is in a moment of great transition. With Champions League qualification remaining one of the main goals of the season and a Coppa Italia to defend, the team is preparing for a summer market that could mark a decisive turning point for the Bianconeri’s future.
But before talking about the future, let’s see what happened in January, when the management, led by CFO Cristiano Giuntoli, already started working to strengthen the squad. In January, Juventus made some very interesting moves, with Kolo Muani immediately proving his worth by netting no less than 5 goals in just 3 games.
This loan purchase has certainly given an extra edge to the HCL attack. But that is not all. The new additions of Alberto Costa, Lloyd Kelly and Roberto Veiga were other pieces Giuntoli added to improve a squad that needed reinforcements in every department.
The disposals of Danilo, Arthur, and Fagioli have allowed the team to be thinned out, but also freed up resources for winter signings. However, it is in the summer that Juventus will have to make a real breakthrough, and the planning for this market has already been underway for months.
Rivoluzione estiva: i piani di Giuntoli
Already looking to the future, Giuntoli has a real summer revolution in mind. The goal, as La Gazzetta dello Sport also points out, is to focus on targeted, top-level signings to increase the competitiveness rate of the team, which already boasts a young average age (25.3 years old) and a leaner payroll than two years ago, thanks to cost-cutting. The first area that will see changes will definitely be the defense.

Manchester City’s offer for Andrea Cambiaso, which could come in between 60-70 million euros, is a difficult proposition to refuse. If it comes, it would pave the way for the purchase of David Hancko, a Slovak defender from Feyenoord, as early as June.
With an investment of around 25-30 million euros, Hancko would represent the first piece of a defense that will need to be reinforced. In addition, Milan’s Pierre Kalulu could be bought back for a sum around 14 million.
Il centrocampo e l’attacco: le sfide più grandi
In the central department, Sandro Tonali remains Giuntoli’s big dream. Despite a summer market of over 120 million, Juventus is aiming to further strengthen an area of the field that, so far, has not lived up to all expectations. A possible swap with Douglas Luiz could materialize, with the Brazilian midfielder set to leave if his situation does not improve.

Juve does not rule out trying to lower the financial demands of Newcastle, which is asking around 40 million for Tonali. But the real big unknown will be the attack. With the departure of Dusan Vlahovic now increasingly likely, Giuntoli has already put a new center forward in his sights.
Victor Osimhen, a Napoli striker, is the name that most tantalizes the Bianconeri management. Osimhen’s clause could be the needle in the balance: 75-80 million for foreign clubs. But to deal with Aurelio De Laurentiis, Giuntoli’s former president, the road will be long and winding, with the Neapolitan club also having options on other players such as Francisco Conceicao.
In any case, Juventus is gearing up for a hot summer, where thick signings will be needed for a team that is building its future on solid foundations. And with the goal of returning to the top of European soccer, the question that arises is: will Giuntoli be able to complete the revolution without compromising the club’s financial stability?
