Massara: Juventus must ‘invest differently’ as Italian football ‘has worsened’

Juventus Chief Football Officer Frederic Massara believes the Italian club and other Serie A teams must rethink their approach to recruitment and be more innovative when making transfers. The Bianconeri play against Lazio at Allianz Stadium later tonight. Massara spoke with DAZN prior to kickoff, emphasizing the importance of consistency.

Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade scored in Juventus' 2-1 win over Celta Vigo in the Europa League match earlier on Thursday. However, Massara pointed out that Juventus has ample time before January to make new additions. Coach Luciano Spalletti remains focused on acquiring a traditional center-forward, but Massara stated that playing with two strikers is a possibility.

Spalletti is currently serving a one-game ban and will be replaced by assistant coach Marco Domenichini. Massara noted that the current climate in international football has worsened the competitiveness of Italian clubs. The Tuscan side has only managed 11 points in six Serie A games so far, scoring nine goals while conceding five.
