Juventus’ €70 million double versus a wave of ‘no thanks’ refusals

Juventus has shifted its transfer strategy, sealing a combined €70 million deal for Kolo Muani and Alajbegovic, while a string of high‑profile targets such as Alisson, Brahim Diaz and Dusan Vlahovic have turned down the Bianconeri in recent weeks, according to coach Massimo Spalletti.

La Juventus changed its market direction with the double‑deal that exceeded €70 million, a move driven by the players’ own desires. Spalletti emphasized, “Kolo is wanted to return at all costs,” and added, “We are Juventus, but there are also those who have refused us.”

Da Alisson to Vlahovic, passing through Bernardo Silva, the club has faced a near‑“no, thanks” squad of refusals. Both DIAZ and VLAHOVIC have publicly declined, joining Alisson in the list of players who said no.

Other transfer activity includes Andrew Robertson moving from Liverpool to Tottenham on a free transfer, John Stones heading from Manchester City to Inter without a fee, and Tarik Muharemovic joining Leeds from Sassuolo for €38 million. Bernardo SILVA left Manchester City for Real Madrid on a free deal, Lorenzo Pellegrini is free and ready to renew with Roma, and Nico Gonzalez returns to Juventus after a loan at Atletico.

Sicuramente ha pesato la retrocessione in Europa League: i campioni vogliono giocare la Champions. The relegation to the Europa League has added pressure on Juventus to secure Champions‑League qualification.

The contrast between a bold €70 million acquisition and a cascade of declined overtures highlights Juventus’ determination to rebuild while confronting the reality that several elite players remain unwilling to join the club.
