Juventus star summer signing could already be up for sale.
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.

Juventus could have to move to third choice with Marco Carnesecchi and Alisson Becker not for sale
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.

Juventus could decide to sell defenders this summer with replacements ready
Juventus have undergone a midseason revolution under Luciano Spalletti this campaign. However, there is still holes in this team which will need to be fixed in the summer. This has been clear to see over Juventus last five matches where they have conceded 14 goals. Juventus will likely make signings in the defence this summer.
The Bianconeri have also been linked to Marcos Senesi, Zeki Celik and Oscar Mingueza as free agents this summer. If Juventus do manage to sign all of these players, they will be forced to sell. Juventus will have to make room for these players to come into the starting eleven for Juventus next season.
The first player that could leave, Juventus this summer is Federico Gatti. This comes from a report from TuttoSport which castes that AC Milan and Roma are both interested in signing Gatti. AC Milan hoped to sign Gatti in January, but Juventus decided to not sell then. However, they have also been monitoring Mario Gila for this summer.

Meanwhile, AS Roma are looking to replace Evan Ndicka. Reports have stated that Gian Piero Gasperini isn’t a fan of Ndicka, and they could decide to sell him this summer. Federico Gatti could move to Roma and come into the team to replace Evan Ndicka. However, both of these sides will face competition from Premier League sides, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest.
Andrea Cambiaso could be up for sale as well, as according to Defensa Central. Real Madrid could decide to sign Cambiaso as a replacement to current left back Fran Garcia. Cambiaso would come in to Madrid and fight for a starting place with Álvaro Carreras. Meanwhile, Manchester City and Liverpool have both also been interested in Cambiaso.

AC Milan looking at new strikers for next season
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.
