Juventus went under another playing shift this summer, as the team went from one suited to the tactics of former coach Thiago Motta. The board looked to fill holes that Mottas team had and to sign players more suited to then coach Igor Tudors tactics. This led to the club signing two strikers to help Tudor.

However, both have failed to get their boots on the ground well in Turin. The signings of Jonathan David and Lois Openda where meant to help Juventus but more balls into the back of the net. However, so far things have not gone to planed with the two combining for only one league goal.

This poor form forced, Juventus to make a change firing Igor Tudor and hiring Luciano Spalleti. Spalleti coached his first game against Cremonese starting Openda and benching David. Openda played 64 minutes before making way for Francisco Conceicao and David had a five minute appearance off the bench.

While Openda signed on a loan to buy which will be activated next summer, Jonathan David was bought in on a free. This makes him a permanent player this summer, allowing him to be sold. Reports from Sacha Tavolieri from Sky Sport suggest this could happen by January.

This is due to David’s entourage looking for a move to rejuvenate his career. So far his move to Turin as helped no one as he is struggling for play time and losing confidence. Playing in the World Cup could also be the motivation for his move. Canada who he represents internationally have already qualified due to being a tournament co host.

So far two teams have been rumored to be interested in David signature. Tottenham Hotspurs from the Premier League and Bundesliga side Bayern Munich. Tottenham signed former Juventus striker, Randal Kolo Muani on loan this summer but are still looking for more goals under new coach Thomas Frank.

Bayern Munich have inquired simply to have David as depth incase of injury. So far, Harry Kane has been Bayren start this season, he has been one of europe’s best once again. However, Nicolas Jackson has struggled to find form like David after his move. David could be seen as a replacement to Jackson if he returns to Chelsea or added depth incase he stays.

Dusan Vlahovic looked almost certain to leave Juventus at the start of this season, as contract renewal looked hopeless. Juventus simply couldn’t meet his wage demands so instead they signed replacements. Jonathan David and Lois Openda where bought in who were seen as new starting strikers.

But, both have struggled to hit the ground running for Juventus this campaign struggling to provide goals. Jonathan David will likely stay in Turin as he has been the main starter for Luciano Spalletti. Openda however, will likely leave Turin which could have the Bianconeri back to square one in there replacement search.

Expect for the fact that they may not have to replace Vlahovic at all as he could stay in Turin. This came as Vlahovic suffered an abductor injury for Juventus in November of last season, which saw him miss 21 games. Europe’s big clubs like AC Milan, bayern and Chelsea who did want to sign Vlahovic all lost interest while he wasn’t playing due to injury.

Corriere Dello Sport is now reporting that Juventus will have a fresh set of talks with Vlahovic is they aim to keep him in Turin. However, the deal is not as straightforward as it soons as they two parties still have disagreements. Mainly over salary as Dusan wants 12 million euros per season to stay.

Juventus are hoping to pay Vlahovic closer to a six million euro per season sum. This would put him on par with both Jonathan David and Kenan Yildiz despite him being a favourite of Luciano Spalletti’s. Vlahovic will have to decide soon if he is willing to stay with Juventus a figure nearly half of his asking price or make a move elsewhere, before it is too late.

This was also met with reported attitude problems out of Thuram during the time. That was the ultimate kicker motivating the move especially with some teams being able to pay top money for Thuram. However, recently his form has improved scoring two goals against Como and scoring one and assisting two the week before that.

His form turn around now has Inter Milan inclined to keep him according to Gazzetta Dello Sport. He is now seen as an integral part of the Nerazzurri plans, and small talks for a contract extension have started. This comes as his deal expires in 2028, so there is plenty of time to spare for a renewal.

Hakan Calhanoglu future however is not so certain as he has been linked to leave Inter as well this summer. There has been talks for a move to Galatasaray which have been motivated mainly by the fact that his contract expires at the end of next season. However, Fabrizio Romano has labelled these rumours completely false on his youtube channel.

Liverpool have already begun their search and have Pulisic mind as an option for this summer. However, they are still have multiple names in mind with Kvicaha Kvaratskhelia being on their list according to reports. Liverpool could face competition if they decide to sign Pulisic this summer as Tottenham.

Tottenham have recently appointed Roberto De Zerbi as a new head coach and he will likely stay there into the summer. They will look to build a new more dynamic attack and Pulisic could be a key name for doing so. Especially if he is put up for sale by AC Milan this summer.

However Massimiliano Allegri considers his “Captain America” close to unsellable for Milan this summer. However, an offer of 60 million euros or more could be enough to do the trick for Milan’s ownership. This a figure that both Premier League sides should be able to match.
