Juventus are entering the new Serie A season in the middle of a significant squad overhaul, with the transfer window still open and several key decisions unresolved. The most pressing business has been filling the goalkeeping position, a problem that dragged through the summer after talks over Alisson, Emiliano Martinez, and Suzuki all collapsed. The club eventually secured Guglielmo Vicario on loan from Tottenham, with an option to buy for 10 million euros. Spalletti welcomed the signing but was candid, admitting he does not fully understand why Vicario lost his place under Roberto De Zerbi at Spurs, though he insisted the club has no doubts about the goalkeeper's quality.

In defence, the arrival of Jhon Lucumí from Bologna for around 20 million euros gives Spalletti a ball-playing centre-back he has long wanted. The Colombian impressed at the World Cup and is expected to shake up the defensive hierarchy around Bremer and Kelly.

The outgoings side is proving harder. Midfielder Arthur is in talks over a mutual contract termination, while Mattia Perin is being tracked by Palermo. Nico Gonzalez wants to leave for Atletico Madrid, and if that deal falls short financially, a swap with Milan involving players such as Tomori or Fofana could follow. Owner John Elkann has been clear that despite the reconstruction, winning remains the club's core objective. With Serie A kicking off at Frosinone on August 23, Juventus need to move surplus players quickly to free up funds and give Spalletti a clean squad to work with.
