After a commanding debut win over Al-Ain in the Club World Cup, Juventus are not slowing down off the pitch. New general manager Damien Comolli is already hard at work, aiming to provide coach Igor Tudor with fresh, dynamic talent to strengthen the squad for the future. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Comolli’s strategy is clear: he is searching for “the new Yildiz.”
Building Around Youth and Potential
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Comolli’s vision is to identify young, high-potential players who can elevate the quality and unpredictability of Juventus’ roster. The model is Kenan Yildiz, who arrived from Bayern Munich as an unproven talent and has since become a symbol of the club’s new project. Juventus wants to find players who can grow alongside Yildiz and help shape the club’s future.
Comolli’s approach favors promising prospects over big names, focusing on those with the potential for significant development. The goal is to create a core of young stars capable of making Juventus more competitive and exciting.
Ben Seghir: The Versatile Rising Star
One of the top names on Comolli’s list is Ben Seghir, a 2005-born talent currently playing for Monaco. Last season, Seghir made 45 appearances and scored 9 goals, showcasing both consistency and versatility. He also earned an Olympic bronze medal with Morocco. Comfortable both as a winger and an attacking midfielder, Seghir is valued at around €30 million and is under contract until 2027.
Mikey Moore: The Explosive Teenager
The other standout target is Mikey Moore, just 17 years old. Moore is a left winger who can also operate on the right, known for his speed, technique, and versatility. He recently helped Tottenham win the Europa League, even scoring in the competition. With a contract until 2027 and a valuation of about €20 million, Moore has already attracted interest from Manchester City and Manchester United. Comolli’s strong ties with Tottenham—where he previously worked—could give Juventus an edge, though competition will be fierce.
