Juventus opts against signing free agent midfielders despite recent injuries

Juventus has decided not to pursue free agent signings to address gaps in its midfield following significant injury setbacks. Khephren Thuram remains sidelined for the remainder of 2026, creating a void in the team's depth. Additionally, Kenan Yildiz is currently injured, although his return is projected before the year concludes. While various free agents are available to fill short-term roster spots, the club intends to manage the current situation with existing squad members. Management will rely on current personnel to maintain form until the injured players are fit for action. This approach places increased responsibility on the available midfielders to compensate for the recent personnel losses throughout the upcoming schedule.
