AI summary
Giovanni Carnevali has steered Juventus through a delicate summer rebuild that respects the club's UEFA Settlement Agreement while maintaining competitive ambition. According to analysis by a Turin business professor, the CEO's heavy squad turnover and reliance on loan deals and prospect signings kept the wage bill increase to an acceptable level—but the Kolo Muani acquisition consumed most of the savings made by selling Vlahovic.
Juventus faces mounting pressure to generate significant player sales or further reduce costs to hit its break-even target by 2028. The club has struggled to achieve major capital gains for five years and refuses to sell key assets, leaving limited options as a board meeting on 24 September looms.
