Juventus are preparing for a squad overhaul that could change the face of their team for the next season.
As the summer transfer window edges closer, Juventus are gearing up for a significant squad overhaul, aiming for both quantitative and qualitative improvements, according to Tuttosport.
Goalkeeper: Wojciech Szczesny remains the undisputed starter between the posts. Mattia Perin, seeking a starting role elsewhere, will depart, and Carlo Pinsoglio is expected to be the new backup.
However, Juventus is looking for a new number three goalkeeper, with Leandro Di Gregorio being the frontrunner.
Defence: The Bianconeri defence is in flux. The potential sale of Gleison Bremer and the confirmed departure of Alex Sandro have opened up a central defensive spot.

Bologna’s youngster, Riccardo Calafiori, is the preferred option, but the likes of Sporting CP’s Ousmane Diomande and Wolfsburg’s Maxence Lacroix are also on Juve’s the radar.
In addition, Swedish defender Daniel Huijsen might be brought in either to strengthen the backline or be sold to generate funds for another central defender.
Full-backs: On the flanks, Juventus is looking to add depth. Lecce’s revelation, Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu, has emerged as a potential target. Mattia De Sciglio’s future remains uncertain, with a loan or a permanent transfer being serious possibilities.
Midfield: The midfield is arguably the area demanding the most reinforcements. Paul Pogba’s long-term absence and the potential departures of Adrien Rabiot and Weston McKennie make a revamp necessary.
Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners is the top target for this position, but his €60 million price tag could be a hurdle. Lazar Samardzic of Udinese is a talented and cost-effective option. Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino and Nice’s Khephren Thuram are also intriguing possibilities.
Attack: Upfront, Juventus needs alternatives to their current attacking options. The future of youngster Matias Soulé is undecided, with a loan or sale remaining the most likely outcomes.
The Bianconeri are firmly interested in Genoa’s promising talent Emil Gudmundsson and are also pursuing Sassuolo’s Armand Laurienté.
Dusan Vlahovic remains a key player, but if an irresistible offer arrives, the Bianconeri could target Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee as his replacement.
