Juventus Face Financial Crossroads: Champions League Absence Could Trigger Major Squad Overhaul

Yildiz

Juventus’s recent defeat to Parma has intensified fears of missing next season’s Champions League, with the club now fifth in Serie A. Failure to qualify would deprive the Bianconeri of at least €60 million in revenue, compounding financial pressures despite Exor’s planned €115 million capital increase.

Transfer Market Repercussions

Without Champions League football, Juventus’s ability to pursue high-profile targets like Sandro Tonali (Newcastle) and Victor Osimhen (Napoli) would diminish. The capital injection, while significant, may prove insufficient to fund marquee signings, forcing the club to reconsider its strategy.

Key Players at Risk

Calciomercarto report how Kenan Yildiz, Andrea Cambiaso, and Federico Gatti could become expendable to raise funds. Cambiaso, previously linked to Manchester City, might attract renewed Premier League interest, while Yildiz’s rising profile makes him a potential sacrifice. Even recent arrivals like Douglas Luiz, struggling to adapt, could be offloaded.

Loan Dilemmas

Retaining loaned players would become problematic. While Lloyd Kelly’s purchase from Newcastle is mandatory, Francisco Conceição (€30 million buy option) and Renato Veiga (Chelsea) face uncertain futures. Randal Kolo Muani will return to PSG, leaving a gap in attack.

Organizational Restructuring

Ownership, led by John Elkann, may reassess the club’s management structure. Giorgio Chiellini, currently Head of International Relations, could assume a more operational role to stabilize the sporting project.

The next five matches will determine whether Juventus can salvage Champions League qualification—and avoid a summer of upheaval.
