He left behind three jewels and may return to reap the rewards. Juventus ponders the return of the man who quietly made more than 100 million. Between nostalgia and strategy, the refounding begins off the field

Juventus preparing for next season is not simply an open construction site: it is a real skin change. On the field, certainly. On the bench, almost certainly. But especially upstairs, where decisions count as much as – and perhaps more than – goals.
The imminent departure of Francesco Calvo, ready to fly to the Premier League for a new assignment at Aston Villa, opens up a number of boxes to be filled. Starting with the one that could be filled by a familiar and charismatic face: Giorgio Chiellini. The former captain, for now left in the second row, could soon become one of the strong faces of Juventus’ new course. Not only as a symbol, but as a key figure in the sporting and political dynamics of the club.
For Juventus fans, Chiellini’s return to center is almost a collective desire. In a year when Juve has often given the feeling that it does not count enough in the corridors that matter — the federal ones, the media ones — a figure like his would help restore weight and voice to a club that has historically been able to make itself heard.
After all, Calvo’s farewell also leaves vacant the position of federal adviser in the Figc. And who, better than a man like Chiellini, can embody that combination of authority, experience and Juventus-ness needed to represent the club at the tables that matter? Ad Maurizio Scanavino, on this, left an important glimmer: “He is working very well, he can certainly grow. For the future perspective we give time to time.”

But if Chiellini’s face reassures and unites, there is another return that tickles the fancy of insiders. It is not Frederic Massara, who seems for the moment to be just a rumor. It is that of Matteo Tognozzi, who has just left the role of ds at Granada but with a bianconero past that is anything but trivial. A name circulating insistently to flank Cristiano Giuntoli in the work of building the new Juve.

To some he is “just a rising executive,” to others he is much more: he is the man who scouted three assets that have brought and will bring so much to Juventus’ balance sheet. From Soulé, sold for 30 million to Roma, to Huijsen, the great Bianconeri regret who was sold for 15 and is now worth 60, to Yildiz, the enchanting Turkish gem who has admirers willing to offer sums over 60 million.
Three names, three insights, a potential that – added up – could exceed 100 million euros in market value. And of Huijsen we calculated only the sale price, otherwise we would have counted even more. He could be the support Cristiano Giuntoli needs, who will no longer be plenipotentiary in the management of Juve’s power in the market, indeed he could end up quite downsized by this major reshuffle.
The feeling is that Juventus is trying to rediscover its roots, but with an eye toward the future. Tognozzi’s choice, if confirmed, would be in line with a project based on talent enhancement and sustainability. The emotional bond with the club, combined with the expertise already demonstrated, make him a natural candidate to return to Turin. Not as a supporting player, but as a protagonist.
While waiting to know the coach who will lead the team in the next championship, Juve is already moving the most important pawns away from the field. And sometimes, those who leave last are precisely those who can make ends meet better than others.
