Pogba isn't available for a long time due to his injury and Juventus need to find a midfielder immediately. It is like they are back to where they started now and I wonder whether there is someone who can be a solid alternative to Pogba in the market. This is a big hit to Juventus right before the beginning of the season. Allegri must be aiming the title this time for sure. But if they can't strengthen the needed positions very quickly they might not start very well to the season.
Even though Paul Pogba is fit and ready to play, Di Maria will continue to fill Allegri's main squad. Di Maria's experience and composure can be used as a new weapon for Juventus, he is able to run on the right wing which can make the opponent's defense wide, the ball that comes from Di Maria's feet is very accurate. Allegri can play Di Maria and Pogba simultaneously, because the two new pillars of Juventus play in different positions.
We can forget about Pogba in next several months with his injury. Di Maria plays at different position of Pogba but so far, he fails to convince Max Allegri that he can take over a main post in their squad. I don't think his issue is time but also because he is losing his best performance and currently in his downhill of career. He can have good contribute as a substitution from bench but as a main player, I think it is out of his capacity now.Quote
Juventus have shown signs of revival, even though they just lost to Real Madrid, but their performances are not as bad as last season. The coach must build chemistry between the lines in order to close the gap that can benefit the opposing team.
They bought Dusan in last winter transfer season and it is a good preparation for this season. Chiesa will be back too and I think Juventus will be a stronger team than what they were in the past season.Unfortunately, I did not see their improvement in the match with Real Madrid but it is not enough to make judgement. We must wait for their official matches in Serie A, not friendly ones.

Yes Di Maria is still very capable of doing that, even with his experience it will help a lot. Now Di Maria will be very reliable in the squad, for several reasons. And the main reason is the absence of Paul Pogba. But Juventus still really need to improve their front line, because that position is still lacking in my opinion.Juventus have shown signs of revival, even though they just lost to Real Madrid, but their performances are not as bad as last season.

It is claimed that Juventus are targeting the old Napoli striker Dries Mertens as well. He is still free agent and it would be too easy for them to sign him. However I don't think that he should be among their top targets. Because he is already 35 years old and I don't think that he will show a very impressive performance. He should be like a backup plan for Juventus in case they fail in signing strikers like Morata and Werner. It is important what they think of doing with a new transfer too. If they are thinking of him in the starting eleven then Mertens should definitely stay as the last option.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is experimenting with his squad. Against Barcelona, we saw a strange formation from Juventus. Massimiliano Allegri builds his strategy in a 4-5-1 formation. They drew the match 2-2. But against Real Madrid yesterday, he adjusted his tactics to a 4-3-3 formation. But Juventus lost the match 2-0. Maybe Massimiliano Allegri will do some more experiments before the start of the season.
Even sometimes if they still don't experiment enough in friendly matches, they will continue to experiment a little when they enter the league at least for the first few matches. This often happens for big teams as well, because sacrificing the first few matches might not be a problem if in the future, they can consistently gain points from match to match. But if they continued to not find a suitable strategy, then it would be dangerous as they would fall further and further behind by the top-ranked teams. With the updated squad, I hope Allegri is quick to make a firm decision on the implementation of the strategy as their target for next season must be achieved with such a squad. 
Juventus made a big mistake by letting Dybala go this season. As this season Juventus are building their squad to win the title. They should have kept Dybala on the team this season. They are likely considering Di Maria as Dybala's replacement. But Di Maria has fitness issues. At the same time, their new midfielder Pogba is injured. Juventus are going to face big problems at the beginning of the season.
Not really big mistake made by Juventus after not extended contract with Paulo Dybala, they have new replacement by Angel Di Maria although his age over than Dybala but have most experience on Real Madrid and PSG. I think Di Maria the best player will replace position leaving by Dybala, now Juventus try looking for the replacement from Alvaro Moratta because still injury with Chiesa little difficult to find who will be partner for Dušan Vlahović. Juventus still faced trouble on midfielder area after Paul Pogba confirmed injury and have out from team with long time until four months later, bad news for Juventus because they less player on midfielder. 
I wonder why Pogba refuses the surgery? I have heard that the recovery after surgery is almost twice as fast as if the meniscus is treated without surgery. They say that he consults on alternative options, but it’s hard for me to imagine what they might be and in any case, playing with an untreated injury is a much greater risk than having surgery and trying to speed up recovery.
I still have no word on what scheme will be taken from Paul Pogba's injury. But I believe that the club will choose the best path, I think Pogba must respect the decision the club will take. Which means he will definitely follow that decision, because what is at stake here is not only him but also the club that signed him.The problem is that due to the World Cup taking place at such a strange time, the contradiction between the interests of the player and the interests of the club only increases. Pogba wants to be ready to compete in the World Cup and is planning his recovery schedule for the event. The club obviously wants Pogba to have surgery as soon as possible in order to recover quickly and play as much of the season as possible (but in doing so, most likely missing out on the World Cup). I don't know how this issue will eventually be resolved.
Juventus are still thinking about a move to sign Nicolo Zaniolo but I'm not very positive about Roma to sell him to any team now. It is like the time they need him the most because they would aim to have a better season with Mourinho. Zaniolo is a player who can play a critical role in making this real. Tottenham are also observing his situation from some distance and looking for an opportunity to sign him. I expect none of them to reach their goal at least for this summer.
Mourinho will not easily let Zaniolo go to any club because he is a player who has an important role in AS Roma at this time, I can't imagine what if AS Roma loses one of their important pillars.In addition, Zaniolo also participated in AS Roma's pre-season tour. This indicates that there is a great chance that Zaniolo will stay at AS Roma. BTW, in about 1 hour we'll see Tottenham Vs AS Roma match, hopefully Tottenham don't tease Zaniolo directly in that match, LOL.
Nicolò Zaniolo is a very significant player for ROMA right now. An attacking midfielder like him is a priority for Roma right now and that’s why I don’t think they’re willing to sell him. I am not going to say he had the greatest time in the last season, to be honest. He had 28 appearances and he scored two goals and two assists. He also had 11 yellow cards and two red cards if I am not wrong.
So I am not going to say he is one of the brightest players in that position. But now for Roma, he is certainly a necessary player. If he decides to move to Juventus and if Juventus is successful in signing this player I think this is going to be a good upgrade for the player. However, I believe Roma needs this player a lot more right now than Juventus does.

He's a very good player. I can't believe why Juventus still sent him off the team. I am sure that Dybala will give Roma the best he can. A coach like Mourinho brings out more of his potential. Roma can play a better game than last year, which they made us feel in the match against Tottenham.

Juventus has always been weak on the right hand side and I think Di Maria is a good choice. I think he has lot to offer despite his age. I think Allegri planned Di Maria to be used as a regular player in the squad this season. As for Pogba, yes he is kinda injury-prone but I am sure Juventus had that in mind before going for him. He also can offer when he recovers and is back into the squad. 
Now we have 2 friendly games involving teams from Italy, I'm talking about:
AS Roma 1 - 0 Tottenham Hotspur FC
Both teams are playing with all their best players, Roma has even put Dybala to play, it will be very interesting to see who will win in this game

The first time Paulo Dybala has played for Roma. As a result of the welcoming he received from Roma, you can be sure he will give everything he has! Roma will definitely be a good fit for him. He is a very talented football player who I believe Jose Mourinho will turn into a star. Despite the fact that he has always been a star.

Inter apparently showed poor performance during friendly matches because from total 4 matches they only can win once from Swiss team Lugano FC and i think Simone Inzaghi have to evaluated their weakness because from 4 matches Inter never been cleansheet and always be conceded goals and it showed their defense still weak and on the other hand Dybala seems don't have any problem with Mourinho strategy because seems he can adapt well and give good assist to Ibanez which help Roma won from Tottenham

Inter Milan VS Lyon
Inter Milan drew 2-2 with Lyon. I don't like Inter Milan's performance in this match. If their target is to win the title then their performance needs to improve a lot. It is not possible to win the title with such a poor performance. Inter Milan played with their main squad. Their defense needs improvement. Martinez's performance was not good today. All in all, I would say the party's situation is not stable.
In this case we can see that their performance is still not good.Inter Milan drew 2-2 with Lyon. I don't like Inter Milan's performance in this match.

Their defense, midfield and attack still look unprepared in this regard.
Although indeed the attack line is better than the midfield and defense in this case.
They failed to maintain possession and this put them under pressure, luckily they were able to equalize after two goals down.
Mourinho seems lost his touch, i mean yeah his time as one of the great manager is over.
Unless of course if he could achieve something with as roma next season which so far so good , dybala added to the squad and it's a huge boost at least to get more confidence for the fans.
José Mourinho is unpredictable. He is one of the great coaches football has produced in recent times. He has the experience and personality to change the fortune of any team. Although he might have some character challenges, but he is a top class coach. A.S. Roma is not a financially buoyant club that can afford the right quality players that can make the team compete favorably in all competitions. Hence, I don't expect them to win the Italian League but they should be able to qualify for the UEFA Champions league next season. Unless of course if he could achieve something with as roma next season which so far so good , dybala added to the squad and it's a huge boost at least to get more confidence for the fans.
With a greater squad next season , i have some guts that mourinho might surprised us for one more time.

Pogba is almost of for half of a season and Di Maria is just a player for substitution. I don't believe Juventus signed with Di Maria and planned to use him as their main player. I don't believe Di Maria can compete with others and get a solid spot in Juventus squad.
Pogba can contribute well for Juventus but he has a complicated injury and will need months to recover. It seems the first season for Pogba in his second adventure in Juventus is like a nightmare for him.
