Luciano Spalletti addresses transfer constraints ahead of Juventus match against AC Milan

Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti confirmed the club failed to reach all its objectives during the summer transfer window, citing financial fair play limitations. Despite these restrictions, Spalletti expressed satisfaction with the addition of deadline-day signing Nick Woltemade. The manager now faces a depleted squad for Sunday’s upcoming Serie A match against AC Milan. Spalletti reported seven players will be unavailable for the fixture, including long-term absences for Kenan Yildiz and Khéphren Thuram. Other sidelined players include Weston McKennie, Jeff Ekhator, Andrea Cambiaso, Juan Cabal, and Pape Matar Sarr. Juventus enters the game having secured two wins in its first two matches.
