Juventus has seen three permanent coaches since Massimiliano Allegri left Juventus for the second time. First came, Thiago Motta someone who transformed Juventus squad getting seven summer signings given to him. However, he failed to preform in Turin and was fired midseason and replaced by Igor Tudor.

Juventus hired their former player Igor Tudor as a caretaker until the end of the season. But, he managed to impress the board in Turin in his early day’s to earn a contract extension. Tudor, wouldn’t get long into his new deal being fired in November last year, ever since Luciano Spalletti has taken charge.

Spalletti has had the Bianconeri playing at their best ever since Allegri left. This is why most Italian tabloids are reporting, that he will earn a contract extension with Juventus. If Spalletti stays with Juventus past this season, it will likely lead to a small revolution in the market to build a team for him.

This comes from a report from Matte Moretto on Youtube, as two defenders could leave Juventus after this season. First, there is Fillip Kostic who’s contract expires at the end of this season. Kostic has only featured in eight games since Spalletti joined Juventus and will likely be allowed to leave due to his age.

Federico Gatti is another name who could leave, after this season. AC Milan were very keen on brining Gatti to the Rossoneri, but back then Juventus didn’t consider offers. However, with the form of Pierre Kalulu and Llyod Kelly it could push Gatti out, especially as Juventus go from a back three to back four.

AC Milan could attempt to sign Gatti once again, but in the summer they likely won’t be the only ones interested. Juventus will be happy to sell anywhere as long as it is on their terms. It will take a pretty substancial deal consedering that Gatti dosen’t have an expiring contract and Juventus don’t need to sell.

Roma need more versatile defenders to fit Gasperini system which makes him an appealing choice for Roma.However, Roma signing Augusto could be dependent on if Inter decide to sign Manu Kone.

The Nerazzurri have plenty of options could chase Curtis Jones instead. This comes as a TEAMtalk is reporting that Jones would prefer a move to Milan over staying in England. This makes him a real target for Inter as he will be up for sale this summer.

He has fallen out with Liverpool manager Arne Slot over the course of this season. Slot sees Jones as unneeded in his system as he has only played 1839 minutes during this season and could be sold. This would be a perfect market opportunity for Liverpool who want to make sure they can keep up their dominance into next season.
