Juventus are already looking ahead to the future. With no European or Coppa Italia commitments, the club has had extra time to reflect and plan for next season — a reality that Giorgio Chiellini recently described with a tinge of regret, given the team’s early exits from both competitions.
At the heart of Juventus’ plans lies the future of Luciano Spalletti. Talks over a contract renewal are progressing positively, and there is growing confidence that an agreement will soon be reached. Yet, beyond the renewal itself, the key focus is on building the squad capable of competing at the highest level again.
Comolli at Continassa
On the same day Dusan Vlahovic returned to partial training with the team, Juventus CEO Damien Comolli was also spotted at Continassa. His presence offered visible support to both the players and the manager at a crucial point in the season. According to Tuttosport, there was no formal summit with Spalletti, but discussions between the two parties are ongoing and increasingly aligned. Both the club and coach remain fully committed to pursuing the project launched last autumn.
Spalletti’s Demands for the Future
In his meetings with the club’s leadership, Spalletti has outlined a clear vision for the Juventus of the future. Rather than insisting on specific names, the coach wants to stay closely involved in the club’s transfer strategy — informed, engaged, and active in key decisions.
His main request is to raise the squad’s overall quality. Specifically, he is said to have asked for four or five high-level reinforcements — players capable of making an immediate impact and enhancing the team’s tactical balance. Age is not a decisive factor for Spalletti: experienced profiles and free agents are welcome, provided they bring international pedigree and a winning mindset. A player of Bernardo Silva’s calibre is seen as a prime example of the type of signing that could add both class and leadership to the side.
Continuity and Key Renewals
Spalletti is also pushing strongly for continuity. He values the core built this season and has appreciated the club’s efforts to secure new contracts for key players. The extensions for Kenan Yildiz and Weston McKennie were viewed as crucial steps, with further negotiations underway for Manuel Locatelli and Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker, in particular, is considered by Spalletti as the ideal centre-forward around whom to shape Juventus’ attacking project.
The coach’s stance extends to other essential figures such as Gleison Bremer, Pierre Kalulu and Khéphren Thuram — all of whom could attract interest from top clubs this summer. Maintaining this core, while adding a select group of elite signings, forms the foundation of Spalletti’s blueprint for Juventus: a blend of stability, experience and renewed ambition.
