Juventus completes significant squad overhaul following active transfer window
Summary

Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti enters his second season with a restructured squad following an active transfer period that saw three of four forward positions replaced. The team remains undefeated across three matches with seven points, though finishing in the final third remains a recurring tactical challenge. New arrivals include forwards Kolo Muani, Jeff Ekhator, and Nick Woltemade, while the defensive unit added Jhon Lucumi and Zeki Celik. The club also overhauled its goalkeeping options, signing Vicario and Grabara to replace Michele Di Gregorio. Mirko Di Natale noted the rapid nature of the late-window negotiations for the attacking additions. While the team has shown defensive stability by conceding only one goal in its current three-game run, the club is expected to seek further defensive reinforcements in the near future to complement recent signings.
