#3 Franck Kessie

With Juventus lacking enough quality in midfield, Franck Kessie's arrival next season could certainly improve things for the Turin outfit in the middle of the park.

The Ivorian will be out of contract next season and he has refused to renew his contract with AC Milan.

Kessie was one of the brightest stars in Serie A last season, playing a key role in Milan's campaign. He was critical in the Rossoneri finishing as runners-up and booking a spot in the Champions League.

The midfielder scored 14 goals and grabbed six assists in all competitions for Milan last season. Kessie's arrival will significantly strengthen Juventus' midfield and will help in making them title contenders once again.

It remains to be seen whether Juventus can poach the 24-year-old, with plenty of top English clubs also behind his signature.


#2 Lorenzo Insigne

Lorenzo Insigne is without a doubt one of the best players in Italy and could leave Napoli as his contract expires next summer.

The attacker has been with the club throughout his career having grown up in the city. The Italian has made more than 400 appearances for Napoli, scoring 111 goals while registering a further 88 assists. He has managed to win two Italian Cups during his time at the club, while the winger was also a key part of the Italy squad that won the Euros this summer.

Juventus are currently in a transitions phase and are rebuilding their squad in a bid to reach the summit of Serie A again. At 30, Insigne is older than most of the players Juve are targeting, but the attacker can definitely add much-needed quality in the wide areas.

Signing an experienced player like Insigne, that too in a Bosman deal, should definitely be a no-brainer for Juventus.


#1 Paul Pogba

One player that Juventus would definitely like to sign on a free transfer next summer is Manchester United's french superstar Paul Pogba.

The 28-year-old was an instrumental figure during his four-year stint at the club between 2012 and 2016 having joined from United during the 2011-12 season.

Pogba made 124 appearances for the Bianconeri during that time, helping them to four consecutive Serie A titles. He also won two Coppa Italias and two Supercoppa Italiana before returning to Old Trafford in an €105 million deal in 2016.

The midfielder is now out of contract next summer and several reports are linking him with a return to Turin. His agent Mino Raiola has also claimed that Pogba could return to Juventus next summer.

Pogba's arrival would definitely provide the much-needed spark that is currently lacking in Juventus' midfield. If Pogba does become a free agent next summer, he will definitely be at the top of Juventus' shopping list. However, it remains to be seen if they still have the kind of pulling power to attract him to the club.
