Luciano Spalletti’s team has obvious limitations that the Bianconeri club will try to overcome in the summer soccer market session. Among sporting director Marco Ottolini&#8217s priorities is the purchase of a new central defender to give solidity to the department, and the club is looking for an experienced profile who can bring charisma to the locker room. According to Fichajes, Antonio Rüdiger is one of the names on Juventus’ notebook for next summer.

The German central midfielder, born in 1993, is expiring his contract with Real Madrid and the Spanish club does not seem willing to renew his deal. Rüdiger has already received some calls from the MLS and the Saudi Pro League but may be tempted by the possibility of continuing his career in one of Europe’s top leagues. Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are also on the trail of the rocky center back. The Bianconeri also have Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi in their sights.

The Argentine defender, just like Antonio Rüdiger, is on a contract expiration date. Unlike the German, however, Senesi has received several renewal offers from Bournemouth but seems determined to make a change and wants to move to a new club. In addition to Juventus, Chelsea, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund are also interested in the champion.

Luciano Spalletti commented on the 2-0 defeat against Como this way: “The performance was conditioned by the first goal and by the episodes: you have to go to get it back and you end up long and wide, you go to individual pressures and they carry you around with dribbling and possession. So everything becomes more difficult. If you get a goal 13 times on the first shot on goal, it is obvious that there are difficulties”.
