Juventus Name 31-Man Preseason Squad Including Kolo Muani and Alajbegovic

Overview

• Juventus announced a 31-player travelling party for their Asia and Australia tour that includes new forwards Randal Kolo Muani and Kerim Alajbegovic as part of the confirmed squad.
• The team will play Chelsea in Hong Kong and then face Inter and Palermo in Perth as preseason friendlies used to build fitness and test lineups.
• No additional goalkeeper has been signed so the club is travelling with Michele Di Gregorio, Mattia Perin, Carlo Pinsoglio and 18-year-old Sebastiano Nava as the available options.
• Midfield selection is affected by Khéphren Thuram's preseason absence with injury and by Vasilije Adzic's likely exit to Sassuolo, which opens minutes for arrivals like Douglas Luiz and for youth prospects.
• Club leadership is using these friendlies to integrate signings, evaluate Next Gen players for first-team roles and keep spending selective because financial limits are shaping transfer priorities.
