The Bianconeri failed to make it past the quarterfinals this season

#2 Strengthening the squad

The Turin giants have been linked with many players before the summer, and rightly so. Aaron Ramsey will be joining in the summer but Juventus need to sign more, given their ambitions especially now that there is Cristiano Ronaldo in the team.

Marcelo would be a great addition considering his skills, experience, and telepathic understanding with Ronaldo. In the same vein, the best-attacking fullback will be an upgrade on Alex Sandro who has provided two assists all season.

The breakout Benfica star of the season, Joao Felix, would improve the forward line and compliment Cristiano with his youthfulness and skills. With his versatility, he could replace Manzukic or Dybala in the team long term. Though he will be expensive, he will certainly offer the attacking spark lacking in Europe.

In defence, De Ligt would be a great addition, considering his age, performances, and leadership skills. Being 19 years old and the leader of this Ajax team destroying big teams for fun in the Champions League, he would be a great addition at any cost. However, they will face stiff competition, as many big European teams are vying for his signature.
