Juventus, da Brozovic a Bissouma: gli svincolati ci sono, ma c'è un problema enorme

September 10, 2026Diego Herrera1 мин

Following a significant injury to Locatelli, Juventus is compelled to consider free agents for their midfield. Names like Marcelo Brozovic, Yves Bissouma, and Tanguy Ndombele are being evaluated. However, the primary challenge lies not in acquiring a player, but in fitting them into Juventus's squad list. This regulatory hurdle complicates matters considerably.

Brozovic Remains the Most Intriguing Option

The most captivating prospect is undoubtedly Marcelo Brozovic. The Croatian midfielder is available after his stint with Al-Nassr and has a strong understanding with manager Luciano Spalletti, who previously coached him at Inter, where he transformed into a deep-lying playmaker. Tactically, he could represent a relatively immediate solution.

Defensive Midfield Capabilities

These are precisely the qualities Juventus has lost with Locatelli's absence. Yet, several obstacles exist: his age, the need to assess his current fitness, his financial demands, and most importantly, the squad list issue.

Bissouma Also Emerges

Among the players presented to Juventus is Yves Bissouma. He is currently without a club after his spell at Tottenham. Bissouma offers a distinctly different profile compared to Brozovic – more physical, dynamic, and aggressive. He could provide valuable characteristics for Spalletti, especially given the extended absence of Thuram. Nevertheless, being a free agent does not automatically grant immediate inclusion into the Bianconeri's squad. This is the fundamental sticking point.

Bennacer and Ndombele Also Considered

The list of available midfielders also includes Ismael Bennacer and Tanguy Ndombele. Bennacer is well-acquainted with Serie A from his extensive time at Milan, although his future may lie in Qatar. Ndombele has prior experience in Italy with Napoli and is now free after his time at Nice.

Juventus must first ascertain if and how they can create the necessary regulatory space within their squad list.
