Decisions, decisions: Juventus will reduce their squad in the next ten days

Juventus have started their league campaign well and are looking up after a turbulent 2022/23 season. Their head coach Massimiliano Allegri says he's happy with the squad he has at his disposal. In fact, he requested the club to get a few players out so he has a more compact group in training - and to allow youngsters to get much-needed regular first-team football elsewhere.

It means that several young players won't be playing for Juve this season - although it's not impossible to see a couple of senior players leave. There is interest in Filip Kostic, Dusan Vlahovic and veteran Leonardo Bonucci, who is reportedly close to joining Union Berlin.

Uruguayan defender Facundo Gonzalez, who only joined Juve two weeks ago from Valencia, has chosen Sampdoria to experience his first season in Italy. The 20-year-old centre-back will go on loan to the Serie B club managed by the former Bianconeri captain Andrea Pirlo. Juventus has opted for this solution to provide continuity to his development, considering that he had minutes with Valencia's second team last season. Juventus' scouts will monitor him throughout the season, as they likely will with Kaio Jorge.

The Brazilian forward seems destined for a temporary switch to Frosinone, where he could find playing time and finally put the two years of injury behind him. Meanwhile, Argentinean winger Matias Soule is awaiting the final decision from Allegri and the executives: several clubs have requested a loan, but Juventus would rather sell him altogether because they estimate the first team won't use the 20-year-old former Velez Sarsfield youngster. The situation is pending as other wingers might leave as well. Salernitana is his most likely destination, but clubs from other countries are also being considered.

As of now, the market options for Serbian international Filip Kostic are few. Proposals from Germany and England have been made, but nothing has emerged that could lead to the $19 million figure that Juventus would be willing to sell him for. To lighten the competition on the left-wing, the sale of Samuel Iling-Junior remains the most probable option. Number one priority is given to the Premier League, but Bologna and Atalanta are interested in taking the young Englishman on loan. There, he would find fertile ground to further enhance his skills.

Midfielder Fabio Miretti is on standby. The club will decide on his future at the last minute, only after evaluating how their midfield department will look - and notably if Paul Pogba will be counted upon. Several clubs would like to take him on loan: Monza, Salernitana, Bologna and Lecce.

It's going to be a few busy days in Turin.
