Football Manager 23 continues the tradition of this long-running simulation franchise churning out hit after hit. After all, the sport of soccer is something that is loved all over the world, and this game offers people the golden opportunity to manage the team of their choice and catapult them all the way to super-stardom. While managing a down-and-out team and sending them all the way to the first division might sound enticing, there's no denying that some players just want to manage a great club from the get-go.
One such club that hasn't really been doing all that well in recent times is Juventus. It seems that the era of successive Scudetto wins is a thing of the past, and even the managerial brilliance of Allegri is finding it hard to bring Juventus back from the rut they're stuck in. Of course, players can take on the role of managing this historic club if need be, and here are some signings in Football Manager 23 that are worth checking out for this historic club.
8 Dayot Upamecano
If there's one area where Juventus requires a dire overhaul, it's the defense. While the team has solid options in the form of Bonucci and Rugani, the former is getting it on in terms of age while the latter hasn't been tied down to a contract yet.
So, it's important to inject some young blood into this department by signing a young and promising center-back that adds to the squad depth and forces other players to not remain content with their starting position. Dayot Upamecano is one of the best options in this regard, although do keep in mind that this player will come for quite a pretty penny.
7 Tino Livramento
Chelsea's amazing academy has churned out many talented players, with one of the many players that have absolutely burst onto the scene coming in the form of Tino Livramento. Unfortunately, Reece James has pretty much cemented this position for himself in the squad, and talented players like Livramento had to leave the club in search of more game time.
Players managing Livramento should try and snap up this talent as soon as possible. He's a great young right-back that Juventus is in dire need of, with their first-choice wing-backs already more than 30 years of age.
6 Josko Gvardiol
Croatia were absolute defensive behemoths during this world cup, with Josko Gvardiol proving himself as one of the best players in the squad. This is doubly impressive given how young this player is.
It's clear that the sky's the limit for this defender, and Juventus could definitely use such players in their squad. He might not be the cheapest option around, but most players won't mind once he shows that the investment clubs make in this player will be more than worth it.
5 Alejandro Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho is one of the youngest and most talented players that anyone can snap up for their squad. Players managing Juventus should make this winger a priority, especially since the team is a bit lean on the left side of the pitch.
Of course, sealing a deal to get Garnacho from United can be quite a tough move. However, with enough time and investment, this talented winger can become a part of the Old Lady's distinguished squad.
4 Renan Lodi
Renan Lodi is one of the best players in Football Manager 23 players should try and snap up the very moment they get a chance. This defensive-minded player can cover for a ton of positions and improves the squad depth of any team quite a bit.
As is the case with any talented young winger, it can be somewhat hard to try and bag this player in a reasonable amount. However, managers who secure this player for Juventus will bolster their defense extensively.
3 Callum Hudson-Odoi
Callum Hudson-Odoi is another talented winger from Cobham, Chelsea's elite youth training academy. While he hasn't really cemented himself as one of the mainstays of the squad, there's no denying that this player boasts some impressive talent.
It becomes important to try and secure this player for Juventus managers since he can play on both flanks with great panache. He might have his fair share of spells in bad form, but players who trust this winger in the long haul will be rewarded extensively.
2 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
The Champions League has been a great stage for Napoli to shine and show just how much progress they've made. One of the standout players in this squad who has made a solid name for himself is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
This winger boasts immense talent and will definitely boost Juventus' attacking prospects. Of course, many clubs will be hungry for this player's signature, so Juventus managers need to act quickly if they want to secure this mercurial talent for themselves.
1 William Saliba
Another great young talent that is making a solid name for himself in Arsenal, William Saliba has absolutely burst onto the scene. There's a reason why Arsenal is performing so well in the Premier League after years of mediocrity, with their defensive stability being a key part of their campaign.
Saliba is a tough bargain but a worthwhile one. As long as Juventus managers have the cash, they should definitely opt for this amazing player and invest the cash required to get this player.
