Calafiori and Tonali among Spalletti’s top targets after Juventus contract extension

Luciano Spalletti's long-term future at Juventus is now secure, with the club announcing a contract extension for the manager until 2028. This significant vote of confidence comes as Juventus battles for a top-four finish in Serie A, currently sitting just one point behind fourth-placed Como. With his position solidified, attention now turns to the summer transfer window and the squad Spalletti aims to build.

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Spalletti will have a major say in recruitment, with a list of 11 top targets already emerging. The strategy appears clear: construct a formidable core of Italian talent. Two names at the forefront of this plan are Premier League stars Riccardo Calafiori of Arsenal and Sandro Tonali of Newcastle United. Both are considered among Italy's finest exports, though their hefty price tags mean any deal would likely hinge on the players' desire to return to Serie A.

The ambition doesn't stop there. In goal, Spalletti is reportedly keen on a reunion with Liverpool's Alisson Becker, whom he managed during their time together at AS Roma. The list of potential free-agent acquisitions is equally star-studded, featuring names like Manchester City's Bernardo Silva and Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski. However, despite the interest in Lewandowski, Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani is said to remain the primary target to bolster the attack for next season.

Other players linked with a move to Turin include Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi, Roma's Zeki Celik, and Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka. This aggressive transfer strategy signals Juventus's intent to build a squad capable of challenging on all fronts under Spalletti's guidance for years to come.
