Thiago Motta is convinced Juventus will be competitive in Serie A this season, and will soon be able to do even better.

After all, at the Allianz Stadium, it is a period of change, where Motta took the place of Massimiliano Allegri at the technical leadership of the Bianconeri, after four years without a league title for the great Torino team, following a run of 9 consecutive Scudetto triumphs.

Now the management of Juventus took care and took the midfielder of Aston Villa, Brazilian, Douglas Luiz paying the amount of 51.50 million euros. The tall central midfielder of Nice, Khephren Thuram ( with 20.5 million euros ) and son of the great former French defender, Lilian Thuram, who was also in the stands of the old lady's stadium to watch him.

Even Thiago Motta expects a lot from American midfielder Weston McKennie, who looked set to leave at the end of the 2023-24 season, but after personal talks has let him know he has a lot of faith in him. So the 25-year-old American changed his mind and will now stay in Turin.

Juventus, so far in the transfer period, have also taken the 23-year-old left-footed Colombian full-back from Hellas Verona, Juan David Cabal Murillo, who can also compete as a stopper. The 27-year-old goalkeeper of Monza, Michele Di Gregorio, who last season had made excellent performances, that's why the management did not renew the contract of the Pole, Szézny, who he released. While he promoted to the first team the 20-year-old, left back, Swede of Moroccan origin, Jonas Jakob Rouhi...



Hugs with Teun Koopmeiners

Meanwhile, Juventus has not finished making moves. They are one breath away from finalizing a deal with Atalanta to sign 26-year-old Dutch international midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, who impressed last season and is said to have agreed terms with the Bianconeri. While they are also in negotiations with Fiorentina for the Argentine winger, Nicolas Gonzalez. A left-footed winger with fine technical training and exquisite dribbling.

Chiesa is a thorn

But there are also some issues within the team that Thiago Motta will have to find a solution for, and quickly. And the most serious of them, goes by the name, Federico Chiesa. The 26-year-old international winger has expressed his desire to leave the club. But as everyone understands Chiesa is a strong unit and you can't find an equal footballer easily. So Motta tries with various contacts to let him understand that he will have equal treatment with him and he counts a lot on him. However, things are not easy because Chiesa has become embittered with certain people from the administration and does not seem determined to change course. Unless Motta manages to make the impossible possible…

The fact is that Motta's new Juventus have high ambitions….
