Five players who could leave Juventus this summer
Juventus endured another miserable season in 2023-24 as they fell well short of maintaining a serious title challenge, with Inter Milan romping to the Scudetto.
Despite having no European football, Juventus struggled for a third successive year under Max Allegri.
Allegri’s second spell in Turin thus came to an end, with ex-Bologna man Thiago Motta replacing him.

There will also be something of a revolution in the transfer market, and a number of players will be sold or offloaded.
Wojciech Szczesny
There are a number of Juventus players whose contracts expire in 2025 and thus have uncertain futures at the club.
Veteran goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is one of the most prominent players to have been put on the market.
The former Arsenal man has been a good servant to the Bianconeri, but they are keen to sell him after seven years in Turin.

Weston McKennie
Just like Szczesny, McKennie’s contract at Juventus expires in 2025.
Having once looked certain to leave the club, McKennie played 35 times in the 2023-24 Serie A season. However, Juve are still open to a sale for the right price.
He was linked with a move to Aston Villa earlier this summer, as part of the deal to sign Douglas Luiz, but that never materialised.
Mattia Di Sciglio
Mattia Di Sciglio is another whose contract expires at the end of the upcoming campaign.
The full-back played just one league game last season and it seems that he is now surplus to requirements at the Turin club.
Di Sciglio is on more than €50,000 per week, according to Capology, so he may need to take a pay cut with a potential new club.
Federico Chiesa
Chiesa is also set to be a free agent next summer.
He has been made available for transfer due to not fitting the profile of winger Motta is looking for.
Tottenham and Arsenal are just two of the clubs who hold a tentative interest in the European champion.
Arthur Melo
Despite enjoying something of a career revival on loan at Fiorentina, midfielder Arthur Melo does not feature in Motta's plans.
The Brazil international is expected to leave Juventus, though Fiorentina decided against making his stay permanent.
The former Barcelona and Liverpool man is said to have suitors in the Premier League.
