With the summer transfer window officially coming to a close on Monday night, it’s now only natural to do what we almost always do when it comes to this time of the calendar: make quick-fire declarations about how Juventus’ mercato ended up.
The 2025 summer mercato was certainly not the whirlwind of constant transfer updates and players coming and going during Cristiano Giuntoli’s 2024 of roster churn and overhaul, but it did see some new names arrive nonetheless. It wasn’t the sheer volume of moves as a year earlier, but Juve will still come out of the September international break with a couple of new attacking players on the roster after their arrival on Deadline Day and some shrewd sales made by new general manager Damien Comolli.
For a guy who has only been on the job in Turin for a couple of months, it was no easy task.
Not only did Comolli have to try his best to clean up the mess left in the wake of the Giuntoli project put in place for Thiago Motta that only lasted 10 months, but he also had to do all this work under more financial restraints than maybe we realized. During last week’s Champions League league phase draw, Comolli spoke about the Financial Fair Play implications of Juve’s dealings this summer and how that has impacted just how active the club could be on the market.
All in all, it’s not a perfect squad, but Comolli certainly did some positive things, don’t you think?
Go ahead and cast your vote for your summer mercato rating below. Surely this rating matters just as much to Comolli as Juve’s current — and future — position in the Serie A table.
