This Sunday, the Allianz Stadium will host its final Serie A match of the season as Juventus welcome Fiorentina for a critical penultimate showdown. For the Bianconeri, it's more than just a farewell—it's a must-win to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
Since the turn of the year, Juventus have been on a remarkable run under Luciano Spalletti, remaining unbeaten in the league since a February loss to Como. Yet, despite that impressive form, their grip on a top-four finish is slipping. Recent draws—including a stalemate with Milan—have left the door ajar for Como and Roma to pounce.
Currently sitting third with 68 points, Juve are just one point ahead of Milan (67), who are level on points with Roma. Como, lurking in sixth with 65 points, can still mathematically chase down second-placed Napoli (70 points). Every point counts, and Sunday's clash against a Fiorentina side that has clawed its way to safety after a historically poor start is no time for complacency.
But regardless of whether Juventus secure Champions League football, the summer transfer window is already casting a long shadow. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, several players are likely heading for the exit. Here are three to watch.
Federico Gatti
The 27-year-old defender has struggled for minutes since Spalletti took charge, making just 26 appearances across all competitions this season. Clearly not in the manager's long-term plans, Gatti is expected to be moved on. His contract runs until 2030, but his manageable €5.74m-per-year wages and Juventus's reasonable asking price make a transfer highly probable. Premier League interest is heating up, with Aston Villa, Everton, and Crystal Palace all linked in recent days.
Arthur Melo
The Brazilian midfielder's time in Turin has been a saga of loan deals and unrealized potential. His initial loan from Liverpool was made permanent last month after Juventus secured a top-ten finish—triggering a €40 million obligation to buy. But with the club now looking to reshape their midfield, Arthur is surplus to requirements. A summer departure feels inevitable, though finding a buyer for his hefty wages may prove tricky.
Moise Kean
The young Italian striker has shown flashes of brilliance but has never fully cemented his place in the starting XI. With Juventus likely to invest in a new forward this summer, Kean is expected to be offloaded. His pace and physicality could attract interest from Serie A rivals or clubs abroad, but his inconsistent form may limit his market value.
As the curtain falls on another season at the Allianz Stadium, Juventus fans will be hoping for a win that keeps their European dreams alive—and a summer rebuild that brings fresh energy to the Old Lady's squad.
