We are now two days on from the Serie A transfer window closing, and while there still can be some players outgoing to leagues who can still sign talent, the incoming player part of the equation will not happen again until January at the earliest. That means the roster is set outside of a couple of players who could still be on the way.
So, that means there’s some new players still to get to know a little bit. Some very tall, others a little smaller — but not by much. All of them very much being looked
at as options to help Luciano Spalletti guide this team back into the top four and qualify for the Champions League — something that would help this club out quite a bit with there only being Europa League football on the schedule this season.
But who’s the most exciting of them all? Who are you, dear reader, most excited to watch in a Juventus shirt?
As a reminder since it’s been such a busy couple of weeks to close out the Serie A transfer window, here are all of Juventus’ summer signings:
- Jeff Ekhator
- Zeki Celik (“free” transfer)
- Kerim Alajbegovic
- Randal Kolo Muani
- Jhon Lucumi
- Guglielmo Vicario (loan with option to buy)
- Kamil Grabara (loan with option to buy)
- Pape Matar Sarr (loan with option/obligation to buy)
- Nick Woltemade (loan)
There are permanent deals. There are loan deals. There are options to buy that come with some of those loans. There’s also a dry loan for a very tall German forward who is already giving us a little bit of a laugh. There are a couple of teenagers. There’s a veteran Turkish fullback who has already proven to be a solid signing that provides a nice bit of versatility. There’s also a couple of goalkeepers looking to make their mark.
Oh yeah … plenty of potential reclamation prospects, too.
That’s the nine-player haul that Juventus’ summer mercato ended up involving. Now we get to see what they can do on the field — well, outside of Ekhator since he’s current injured and out for a couple of months — as Juve try and keep this winning start to the season going as long as possible.
So, the Juventus Question of the Day is this: Of the nine players that Juventus signed during the summer transfer window, who are you most excited to watch this season (and beyond)?
