Juventus is aiming for a more Italian core, with Tonali being a potential target for the team`s sporting director, Giuntoli. A striking statistic reveals that 92% of Juventus`s goals across all competitions have been scored by foreign players. This is among the highest in Serie A, highlighting a lack of Italian goal-scorers in the team`s attack since Federico Chiesa`s move to Liverpool last August.
What`s particularly concerning is that no Italian player at Juventus has scored since the beginning of 2025. The last goals from Italian players – two from Nicolò Savona and Andrea Cambiaso, and one from Federico Gatti – date back to December. This marks a historic first in the club`s long history.
While Cambiaso has been dealing with some physical issues, he is just one goal away from matching his seasonal record from 2023-2024. Captain Manuel Locatelli, another Italian midfielder, has previously scored up to four goals in a Serie A season. However, his last goal was the decisive one in the Milan-Juventus match on October 22, 2023.
