Juventus did not finish well last season, finishing out of the Champions League and without important titles. Even so, the Turin club, now led by Luciano Spalletti, wants to put together a competitive squad for the 2026/27 season, with a presence in the Europa League.
The Bianconera board seeks to get ahead of the market and invest in players who do not have a guaranteed position in their current clubs. One of the hottest names is Alexander Sørloth, Atlético de Madrid striker. Juve have already reached a preliminary agreement with the 30-year-old Norwegian, who would arrive to fill the space left by the possible departure of Dusan Vlahovic.
In midfield, the club supports Brahim Díaz. The Moroccan, who spent time at Milan, is seen as an option to bring creativity and imbalance in the offensive sector. Despite still having a contract with Real Madrid, Juventus maintains contacts and is evaluating a possible return to Italy.
Surprise goal: Dibu Martínez becomes a priority
The big news at the moment is the strong interest in Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez, Aston Villa goalkeeper. The Argentine world champion would have shown signs of farewell at Villa Park last season and now appears as the main target for Juve. Spalletti considers him a leader with the personality to command the Bianconera defense. Contacts have already been initiated, but the player’s high salary, in the range of 6 to 7 million euros net per season, is a point of attention.
Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid is also preparing for a busy market. The colchoneros target Marc Cucurella, Chelsea’s left-back, as a priority reinforcement in defense, and maintain interest in Bernardo Silva, from Manchester City, to raise the level of the midfield.
What changes for Juventus
These moves reflect Spalletti’s need to bring in players with character and winning experience. After an irregular season, the objective is to build a more solid team to fight for the Italian title and advance in the Europa League. The Italian coach prioritizes profiles that deliver immediate impact.
The transfer market is still in its infancy, but Juventus is already demonstrating its intention to act quickly. The next few weeks will be decisive in defining the signings and the face of the team for the 2026/27 season.
