In 2014, Juventus did another brilliant piece of business as the Serie A giants signed Kingsley Coman as a free agent after his contract at PSG expired.

But the Frenchman managed to spend just one season in Serie A, making 22 appearances in total before joining Bayern Munich on loan in the 2015-16 campaign.

The move was eventually made permanent and since then, Coman has added to his enviable medal collection on a regular basis while in Germany. The Frenchman matured into a top performer at the Allianz Arena and has consistently been performing for the club. He even scored the winner in the 2020 Champions League final against PSG.

Juventus then signed Douglas Costa, who was supposed to be an upgrade on Coman. But the Brazilian was nothing more than an expensive flop, and has currently been sent on loan to Gremio.

Leonardo Spinazzola has emerged as one of Italy's top stars from Euro 2020, despite getting injured in the quarter-finals.

Spinazzola currently plays his club football at AS Roma but started his senior career at Juventus. In the initial years, Spinazzola had loan spells at Atalanta, Vicenza and Perugia. He had a decent spell at Perugia but his major breakthrough came during his second loan spell at Atalanta in 2016.

He became an integral part of Gian Piero Gasperini's side and spent two years at the club before returning from loan in 2018. Despite missing the first part of the 2018-19 season due to injury, he proved a solid option for Juventus during the latter stages of the season.

Yet the Serie A giants decided to sell him to Roma in exchange for young prospect Luca Pellegrini. While Spinazzola starred for Roma and Italy, Pellegrini had decent loan spells at Cagliari and Genoa, making it another transfer mistake made by the Bianconeri.

Before settling in at Lazio, Ciro Immobile had spells at several clubs, making it hard to recall that he was a product of Juventus' academy.

Immobile made just three appearances for Juventus in Serie A before a breakthrough loan season in 2011-2012 at Pescara where his 28 goals lifted the Serie B side into the top-tier.

He was unable to follow up on his form the following season with Genoa and was sold to Torino. He had more success with Torino where he scored 22 goals in 33 appearances to win his first Serie A top scorer award.

An €18 million move to the Bundesliga followed, but he scored just three times in 24 appearances for Borussia Dortmund, followed by an unsuccessful six-month spell at Sevilla.

He finally returned to Lazio in 2016 and has flourished at the club ever since. The Italian forward has scored 150 goals in 220 appearances for the club while also winning the European Golden shoe in 2020.

Although the Euro 2020 winner took some time to settle, his goalscoring record proved that he is a player of the highest caliber.

Considering how Juventus are in desperate need of a prolific no.9 at the moment, the Old Lady might look back on Ietting Immobile leave as a disappointment.
