Juventus Midfield Strategy: Evolution, Departures, and Transfer Targets
The Juventus midfield is in a period of significant transformation. Arthur is still on his way out, Douglas Luiz is working on a comeback, and Kessié and Goretzka remain on the club's radar.
According to La Repubblica, Juventus's midfield is considered the area most in need of renewal, despite having the largest number of players in the squad. This department is poised for a major overhaul.
The Midfield: A Department Ripe for Reinvention
So far, the only summer arrivals have been the returns of Douglas Luiz and Arthur. The Brazilian, after a challenging spell, may still have a chance to find his place, showing encouraging signs in early matches. The situation is different for the former Barcelona midfielder, who is destined to leave Turin once again. The club's management is actively seeking to facilitate his departure through a loan deal with an option to buy.
Departures Dictate Transfer Market Activity
The form of Weston McKennie also needs to be assessed, as he has not yet found his best rhythm in preseason training. Meanwhile, Teun Koopmeiners, who was acquired for a sum close to €60 million, has reportedly fallen down the pecking order after performance that fell short of expectations.
Kessié and Goretzka Remain Targets
Franck Kessié and Leon Goretzka continue to be players of interest in the transfer market. However, any new signings will inevitably depend on player departures. Without player sales, it becomes difficult to envision the arrival of reinforcements to complete a department that, at present, sees Khéphren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli as the only players capable of guaranteeing consistency and reliability.
