Fewer algorithms, more Italians
Targets
Three tracked for next season
What happened. Juventus chief executive Giovanni Carnevali is overhauling the club's recruitment strategy, moving away from scouting algorithms in favour of Italian players. Three targets are already being tracked ahead of next season.
- Cagliari midfielder Alessandro Romano, born 2006, heads the target list.
- Frosinone pair Lorenzo Palmisani and Antonio Raimondo are also being tracked.
- Juventus' scouting department reportedly needs near-total restructuring at Continassa.
UEFA Settlement Agreement restrictions mean Juventus spending on incoming players cannot exceed what leaves the club.
