5 players Juventus could sign in the summer
Juventus have shown their ambitions to win everything after Cristiano Ronaldo's sensational €100 million transfer from Real Madrid. Arsenal's legendary midfielder Aaron Ramsey will also join the Italian outfit for a massive wage next season.
The Old Lady has been on course to fulfill their overwhelming ambitions so far. They are on the verge of claiming another Serie A title and have successfully progressed into the Champions League quarterfinals after their miraculous comeback against Atletico Madrid.
However, it is clear that Juventus still need to strengthen their roster as several key players have hit past their 30. They would likely spend big again in the summer to improve quality as well as rejuvenate their aging squad. Here are 5 possible targets for the Italian giant in the next transfer window:
#5 Matthijs de Ligt
The Ajax captain is an obvious number one choice to replace Juventus's veteran defenders. Key center backs such as Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci have hit past their 30 and urgently need to be replaced. De Ligt has played in such a high level at just 19 years old and would be the perfect heir for both previously mentioned players.
His leadership would help Juventus a lot in organizing their defense if captain Chiellini could no longer play at the highest level. The imposing Dutchman's high passing accuracy and dynamic defending characteristics are similar to Chiellini's. Hence, he would slot perfectly in Juventus's heart of the defense.
#4 Joao Felix
The Portuguese sensation has been on Juventus's radar for a while now. Felix has attracted numerous interests from the European giants due to his outstanding performance for Benfica this season. SL Benfica President even claimed that the 19-year-old is the best Portuguese talent since Cristiano Ronaldo.
He has scored 10 goals with 5 assists in just 18 league appearances for his club. Juventus, however, would surely try everything possible to reduce the star's €120 million price tag. Felix could be a perfect long-term project for Juventus to replace Ronaldo in the future.
The Old Lady's Portugal connection has been very good recently following the arrival of Ronaldo and Joao Cancelo. Hence, they could use this benefit to outmatch other suitors such as Manchester United.
