Juventus is starting their Serie A campaign with manager Thiago Motta admitting they have a limited squad and much work left to do in the transfer market. The club has been without a league title for four seasons now after a dominant nine-year streak. The departure of Massimiliano Allegri as coach and the arrival of Motta were supposed to bring about major changes, but so far, the club has struggled to bring in the necessary players to compete for the Scudetto.
One surprising turn of events is the potential return of Weston McKennie to Juventus. The United States international had seemed to be on his way out of the club, but recent talks with Motta have led to a reconsideration. McKennie’s versatility and contribution to the squad have been acknowledged by Motta, who sees him as a useful player for their needs.
Despite being linked with several high-profile players like Teun Koopmeiners and Nicolas Gonzalez, Juventus has so far failed to make significant signings in the transfer market. This has left the squad lacking in key areas and has forced them to part ways with some players who were surplus to requirements. The departure of Riccardo Calafiori and Joshua Zirkzee is a clear indication of the challenges Juventus is facing in rebuilding their squad.
Motta remains optimistic about the squad’s ability to compete, emphasizing the importance of playing well and getting the desired results. He stresses the need for players to earn their spots in the team based on merit, regardless of their status. With a focus on playing great football and achieving success on the field, Motta is determined to lead Juventus to a successful season.
As Juventus prepares to face Como in their opening game, Motta is fully aware of the challenges that lie ahead. He understands that nothing can be taken for granted in football and that his team must focus on themselves and their performance in each game. With a strong mindset and a commitment to excellence, Juventus is poised to overcome the obstacles they face in the Serie A season ahead.
