Juventus faces key squad gaps as transfer window closes

Italian club Juventus, with a 28‑player roster, is confronting clear deficiencies in several areas as the summer transfer deadline approaches. Recent signings such as forward Ekhator, defender Selic, attacker Aljazbegović and winger Kolo Muani have bolstered the squad, while departures include forward Dusan Vlahović, midfielder Filip Kostik and others who left on free transfers.

The goalkeeper department remains unsettled, with Daniele Di Gregorio, Matteo Perin and Andrea Pinsoglio under contract but facing contract‑expiry issues, prompting discussions about a possible loan of Japanese keeper Suzuki from Paris Saint‑Germain. Defensively, the team has sufficient numbers but the coaching staff questions the quality and suitability of certain players for the tactical system preferred by head coach Massimiliano Spalletti. In midfield, an excess of central midfielders has created redundancy, and the futures of two Brazilian players are still under review. Juventus is actively seeking solutions to fill the identified gaps before the window shuts.
