Carnevali Reworks Juventus Market Strategy: Four Players Threatened with Exit
June 19, 2026 · Global
Under the leadership of Giovanni Carnevali, Juventus is restructuring their transfer strategy, with several players potentially not continuing their careers at the club.
Juventus continues its preparation program for next season. The Turin club has entrusted Giovanni Carnevali to overcome the results crisis that has hit in recent years, with the aim of improving the club's financial condition.
Carnevali, who serves as general director, is working hard to understand Juventus' situation thoroughly and is ambitious to make changes in management. Currently, he is considering the possibility of adding new staff without ruling out the possibility of reductions.
Carnevali is currently undergoing talks to quickly reach a solution that can help Juventus develop in all aspects. One of the main focuses is to remove pre-existing market influences. Juventus is approaching the new season with the hope of reviewing the various balances in the squad.
After a last season that did not live up to expectations, the club is considering concrete steps to change the composition of the team and start a new cycle. Some players who may not continue their adventure at Juventus include Openda, David, Zhegrova and Joao Mario. Although their situations are different, all of these players have a future that now looks less clear at the club.
One of the main tasks given to Carnevali was to find options that were sustainable both from a technical and economic point of view. The most sensitive cases relate to Openda and Joao Mario. For the Belgian striker, the costs involved in his transfer make the possibility of a move more complicated without having a negative impact on the club's finances. For Joao Mario, the club is considering options that would allow the player to get more playing time, including a possible loan move.
Meanwhile, for David, the possibility of his transfer could create an opportunity to generate funds that can be reinvested in the market. Zhegrova is also one of those under scrutiny; even though last season didn't live up to expectations, his age and characteristics still have the potential to attract interest.
The decisions taken in the next few weeks will help determine Juventus' new structure and the basis of their future project. Carnevali has also visited JMedical as part of his integration process into the Juventus environment. This visit aims to gain a thorough understanding of the club organization by observing all the facilities that support the club's sporting and managerial activities.
During the visit, Carnevali explored areas of the medical center and spoke with the professionals who work there every day. The aim is to understand the methods, processes and standards that have made this facility a reference in the sports medicine sector. Over the years, JMedical has built a reputation that extends beyond Italy's borders, making it a model to be watched internationally for quality, innovation and competence. Saudi Arabia, for example, has shown interest in collaborating on sports medicine development and training.
For Carnevali, this step is an important part of getting to know the world of Juventus, which will be continued in the next few days with further visits inside the club to better understand the mechanisms behind the team's success.
