Serie A Champions Juventus have consistently been dominant in Italy. Winning seven consecutive Serie A Titles, the Bianconeri now seem to have shifted their focus to The Champions League. The “Old Lady” have made some excellent transfers, and Massimiliano Allegri has the Squad to make a big dent in Europe. Here’s how Juventus could line up.
GK-Wojciech Szczęsny

The Polish international will be under the pump, considering he has the colossal task of replacing Gianluigi Buffon. Szczesny has been impressive and will have to consistently perform if Juve are to fill the void Buffon has left.

LB- Mattia De Sciglio

According to UK Website Metro, Alex Sandro has submitted a transfer Request. So assuming Sandro leaves the club, the versatile Mattia De Sciglio should fill in at Left-back. De Sciglio can play as a full-back on either flank and consistently puts in a good performance.
CB- Giorgio Chiellini (c)

Chiellini is an absolute Legend in Italian football and is still one of the best Centre-Backs in the World. And now with the added responsibility of being Club Captain, Chiellini will have to lead by example.
CB- Leonardo Bonucci

Bonucci has returned to Juventus and the Italian is a definite starter for the Turin Club. Chiellini and Bonucci reunite! Juventus looks threatening this Season.
RB- Joao Cancelo
10. Joao Cancelo.
What a signing for Juventus. pic.twitter.com/XoGrCNLuUz

Cancelo is a reliable player to have at Right-Back. Considering he’s Portuguese he could definitely Link-up with Ronaldo at Juventus this Season!
CDM- Blaise Matuidi

Matuidi might be aging but is still a quality player. The World Cup winner will play a crucial role in winning the ball in Midfield.
CM- Miralem Pjanic

Miralem Pjanic is probably one of the most underrated midfielders in the World. The Bosnia and Herzegovina International has been irreplaceable in Midfield and also know how to take a sick Free-Kick. Ronaldo will probably be taking over now, but that’s secondary, isn’t it?
CAM- Paulo Dybala
Paulo Dybala has the potential to grow into the World’s Best Player and with the Current Best at the Club, Dybala should have no problem doing just that. Dybala as a Number 10 could be very effective and will get to see more of the ball.
LW- Cristiano Ronaldo

The one player who had to make this list before the others. Ronaldo moved from Real Madrid for a 117 Million Euros, in what was the most High profile transfers this Season. Cristiano Ronaldo is a Juventus Player, do I need to say more?
ST- Mario Mandzukic

Mandzukic played a key role in Croatia’s Historic run to the World Cup Final. Now the Croat will be looking to carry on his excellent form with Juventus especially considering the fact that Gonzalo Higuain could be shipped out of the Club soon.
RW- Douglas Costa

The Pacy Winger finalized a move to the Club after his impressive performance while on Loan. The link-up between Dybala, Ronaldo and Douglas Costa would be absolutely key for Juventus and could dismantle the opposition’s defence.
