Juventus moves to reshape squad as market stalls and medicals begin
Juventus started its preseason at the Continassa with most of the squad back under new coach Luciano Spalletti, while the club’s hierarchy worked to resolve a stalled transfer market. The priority in attack is French forward Randal Kolo Muani, with Argentine striker Mateo Pellegrino also targeted; Juventus reportedly made a loan‑with‑obligation‑to‑buy offer to Parma worth around €30 million, though Parma has so far rejected it.
The club’s wage bill now stands at roughly €160 million, making player sales essential. Potential exits include defender Gleison Bremer, winger Lloyd Kelly and the 23‑year‑old centre‑back Tarik Muharemovic, whose pending Premier League move could bring €18‑20 million to the books. The proceeds are expected to finance incoming targets such as a new centre‑forward and reinforce other areas.
On the medical side, several players underwent routine checks at JMedical, drawing enthusiastic crowds for the likes of Khéphren Thuram, Pierre Kalulu, Fabio Miretti and Edon Zhegrova. The club also kept an eye on Barcelona prospect Ronny Bardghji, listed among many suitors.
Overall, Juventus must balance offloading assets with securing the signings Spalletti desires to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
