Many players within the current Juventus squad appear to have limited room for further improvement. Despite changes in management, the performance levels of key figures like Bremer, Gatti, Cambiaso, Douglas Luiz, McKennie, Kalulu, and Nico Gonzalez have remained largely stagnant. There is little indication that these fully developed players can significantly elevate their game, regardless of who is in charge.
Instead, the club must prioritize working with younger talents who still possess the capacity to grow. Among these, 19-year-old Alajbegovic stands out as a player with significant class and potential. After a bright start to the season, his recent integration into the team has been hampered by the instability surrounding the squad, frequent formation changes, and the struggles of more senior teammates.
It is vital for Juventus to protect and nurture this talent. The club would be better served by granting consistent playing time to a potential future star, even at the cost of occasional inexperience-related errors, rather than continuing to lean on players whose limitations are already well-defined. Investing in development is the only way to avoid long-term stagnation.
