Juventus changes strategy to focus on Italian players in transfers
Summary

Juventus is reportedly shifting its transfer strategy to prioritize Italian players as part of its efforts to strengthen the domestic core.

Coach Roberto Mancini recently selected only Guglielmo Vicario from Juventus for the national team, highlighting the need for greater Italian representation. The club plans to assess potential Italian additions ahead of the summer transfer window, moving away from the former approach that heavily favored international players. Juventus aims to rebuild a stronger Italian core while maintaining its competitive aspirations in Serie A and European competitions.
