Juventus coach Allegri eager to introduce Bernardeschi, Douglas Costa

Published on: 30 July 2017

Juventus coach Max Allegri expects more transfer business to be done in the coming weeks.

The Bianconeri have sold Leonardo Bonucci and Dani Alves, but brought in Federico Bernardeschi and Douglas Costa.

Allegri said: “Bernardeschi is an important signing, an exuberant player who has brought great enthusiasm. Douglas Costa will play one half tomorrow – I haven't decided yet if it's the first or the second.

“We've got everything we need to experience an important campaign and there's a month for us to further improve the squad. To be honest, I'd be happier if the transfer deadline was July 31, as it'd be easier to prepare for the season.

“This is going to be an intriguing Serie A season, because all the big clubs have reinforced and I think it'll be decided at the end. I expect it'll be tighter than last year.

“Let's not forget last time Napoli and Roma broke club records, while Milan's transfer strategy was aiming for the Scudetto.

“Inter had a bad year, but they too will be able to compete for the title. I am sure it'll go down to the wire."
