There has been two versions of Juventus so far this season. Firstly, there is Igor Tudors team from the start of the season which struggled and saw him fired. Then, there is Luciano Spalletti’s team, which has been improved but has holes. Both teams have struggled defensively, but most of the blame hasn’t fallen on the managers but Michele Di Gregorio instead.

This is why Juventus are now looking to replace Di Gregorio in the summer. Marco Carnesecchi from Atalanta was the leading name, however he is now set to sign a contract extension. However, according to CorSport Juventus could still make a move but it would cost them around 40 million euros. This comes as Arsenal and Manchester United are also interested in Carnesecchi.

Juventus were also tracking Alisson Becker from Liverpool, who could leave Liverpool this summer. This come as Liverpool have already signed his replacement in Giorgi Mamardashvili. But, according to FootyInsider, Alisson is not for sale as he won’t leave Liverpool this summer. This has left Juventus looking for a third option to come in.

CalcioMercatoIT is reporting that Juventus have found the name they could sign to replace Di Gregorio. This is Alex Meret who could be set leave Napoli this summer. Meret current contract expires at the end of next season, and he has no intention of staying in Naples. Vanja Milinkovic-Savic has been Napoli’s consistent number one.

This has left him to look elsewhere for his future, and Juventus could be a real option for the Italian. The deal is also beneficial for the Bianconeri as Juventus will likely have to undergo multiple signings this summer. Juventus will be looking for cheap options to bring in like Mere to save money where they can.

AC Milan have had a huge hole at the top of the pitch ever since Oliver Giroud left the club for a move to the MLS. AC Milan signed Santiago Gimenez to replace Giroud but this hasn’t worked out. Gimenez has had a poor 12 months in Milan, and will likely be sold this summer. Currently he is out injured for Milan as he has been since the end of October.

Niclas Fullkrug was signed on a loan to buy deal in January, however he is more of a stop gap option. At the age of 33 it seems hard to see Fullkrug being a future option for Milan. But, the Rossoneri might keep him after this season as a back-up option he isn’t a starter. This will lead AC Milan to look for a serious name this summer.

Jean-Philippe Mateta was close to joining AC Milan this summer, but he failed his medical. It was found out that Mateta required knee surgery which he is still yet to have, making him an unlikely target for Milan in the summer. However, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport, AC Milan have a list of three names that they could sign.

AC Milan’s top name is Serhou Guirassy from Borussia Dortmund. The 30-year-old striker has a 70 million euro release clause for this summer, but Milan won’t want to pay that much for someone his age. Guirassy is a top class player winning the golden boot in the Champions League last season, but 70 is too much, but they could make a move if Guirassy asks to leave Dortmund and they can do it for cheaper.

But, he isn’t the only name that AC Milan is watching, with Matteo Retegui another possible name. Milan could try and convince Retegui to return to Serie A from Saudi Arabia, but he would need a big pay cut. AC Milan are more likely to convince Darwin Nunez to return to Europe from Al Hilal, but Milan aren’t interested. AC Milan would rather sign Nicolas Jackson on a loan to buy from Chelsea, who will be back up for sale next summer.

Juventus signed both Lois Openda and Jonathan David this summer, and both have failed so far in Turin. Openda will cost 40 million euros this summer, when his deal is complete, as long as Juventus aren’t relegated. David was cheaper being a free transfer, but his six million euros per season is still a waste. Espically considering he has only scored seven goals in 36 games this season.

Both will likely be sold this summer, so Juventus can cut their losses. This will lead Juventus back to the market considering that Dusan Vlahovic could also leave Juventus. Vlahovic was in good form for Juventus when healthy, but he has an expiring contract. Vlahoivc wage demands are too high for Juventus to consider keeping him.

Mauro Icardi has been linked to Juventus for this summer as a free agent. Icardi has worked under Luciano Spalletti before with Inter Milan, but there has been no concrete talks between the club and Icardi. Juventus could instead decide to bring back a former player to sign this summer instead of Icardi.

This would be Randal Kolo Muani who spent six months on loan at Juventus, at the end of last season. Kolo Muani managed to score 10 goals in only 22 games for Juventus. This lead the Bianconeri to look to sign him permantly last summer, but they couldn’t agree a deal with PSG. This was mainly due to the French sides demands being too high.

However, according to TuttoSport, Juventus could be back in the market again for Randal Kolo Muani this summer. This comes as PSG will likely lower their transfer fee demands to sign Kolo Muani next summer. This could be due to Tottenham Hotspurs not signing him after this season, due to them having a poor campaign.
