Pedula: Juventus needs to recruit players to strengthen three positions in the winter, organization midfielder + right back + center back

Transfer expert Pedula revealed that Juventus needs to strengthen the three positions of organizational midfielder, right back and center back during the winter transfer period, among which the organizational midfielder is the key recruiting position.

Juventus' performance this season is not satisfactory, and the team has changed coaches. New coach Spalletti used the previous 3421 formation in the early days of taking office. However, Spalletti hopes to gradually change the formation to the 433 he is more familiar with. However, the players in the current Juventus lineup do not fully meet Spalletti's tactical requirements. To this end, Juventus needs to make signings during the winter transfer period. Pedula revealed that Juventus has three key signing positions in the winter.

The top priority is to introduce a true midfield organizer. Spalletti's 433 formation has always needed an organizing midfielder who can control the rhythm of the game. Although Locatelli can also play in this position, he is more suitable for a more advanced midfield position. Juventus are currently investigating potential signing targets, including Marseille midfielder Hojbjerg and Parma midfielder Bernabe. Pedula pointed out that Spalletti's recruitment requirements for this position are non-negotiable, so this is Juventus's focus in the winter.

Juventus' right back Joao Mario joined this summer, but Joao Mario could not win the trust of the coach whether it was during Tudor's coaching period or Spalletti's coaching period. Juventus would rather arrange Kalulu to play on the right wing. Joao Mario wants to leave the team in January, and Juventus also needs to introduce a new right back. The targets include Molina, who has been reduced to a substitute at Atletico Madrid, and Genoa's Brook Norton Cuffe - Napoli is also interested in the English teenager.

In the central defender position, Juventus has suffered a lot of injuries. Bremer is still absent after knee surgery. Pedula said Juventus is considering introducing a new central defender in the winter, and Sassuolo's Muharemovic may return to Juventus. Muharemovic switched to Sassuolo from Juventus U23 in 2024 and is Sassuolo's main central defender this season. Juventus currently owns 50% of the player's transfer share, which is conducive to Juventus signing him back.
