According to Tuttomercato, this is the worst possible scenario, and its impact extends beyond the transfer market, which closes in a week. The latest news from Juventus is not about new signings or player sales, but about a player injury, and not just any player. Juventus defeated Frosinone, but in addition to securing 3 points, they also paid the price of an injury to Yıldız. While awaiting further information on this injury and confirmation of how long the Turkish player might be absent, it is certain that the absence of this Juventus number 10 is a real problem for Spalletti.

Suitable replacements

Yıldız's importance is once again highlighted, and Juventus now have to look more seriously at their current squad to find someone who can replace this number 10 in Spalletti's lineup. Firstly, there are the natural replacements already in the team, including Boga (whom Juventus bought outright after his excellent performance in the second half of last season) and Alaybegovic (who joined this transfer window for approximately 30 million euros).

Sign a striker, or keep Nico Gonzalez? Perhaps both

Considering that Francisco Conceição and Edon Zhegrova can also play as attacking midfielders, Yıldız's injury could still affect Juventus' market operations before the transfer window closes on Tuesday, September 1st. The impact could be direct, such as accelerating the signing of a striker, with Zirkzee being the preferred candidate; or it could be indirect, meaning an unexpected change in Nico Gonzalez's situation, ultimately leading him to stay in Turin. This situation is surprising, but now it seems that the possibility of him staying has indeed increased.
