The quiet Juventus summer mercato of 2026 rolled on into the final weekend of July, with no new players arriving and a starting lineup in the second preseason friendly that was another reminder of just how little depth this club current has at hand.
Yes, some of the best players on the team were not included because they’re either just back or yet to return from their respective post-World Cup breaks. But there were a whole lot of players who played against Standard Liege that you probably wouldn’t
like to see on the actual roster come the start of the Serie A season against Frosinone.
That season opener, we remind you, is in less than a month now.
And as each day passes with Juventus not making moves to actually improve the roster, you just can’t help but wonder just how much different they will look than the squad that finished in the Europa League places last season.
