Juventus 13 players were selected in the national team competition, Milik lost the Champions League, Ilditz s contract renewal is about to be

The autumn in Turin is getting stronger and stronger, and the Juventus training base is much quieter than before. With the arrival of international match day, 13 players from the first team of Zebras rushed to their respective national teams, and this Serie A giant is quietly completing a youthful revolution. On this international match day, Juventus had 13 first-team players called up for their respective national teams. These internationals will appear in the arenas around the world, from the World Cup qualifiers to the friendly matches, there are Zebra Legion everywhere.

The Belgian national team recruited new aid Openda, who will participate in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan. The striker, who just came from Leipzig on loan, admitted: "I'm really happy. I know I didn't sleep even if I had the opportunity to come here. I'm ready to come here." The Canadian national team recruited Jonathan David for a friendly match against Romania and Wales.

France recruited Kevren Toulam to participate in the World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Iceland. The Italian national team has recruited three Juventus players, Cambiaso, Gati and Locatelli, to participate in the World Cup qualifiers against Estonia and Israel. Other Juventus players selected for the national team include Asic from Montenegro, Kuppmenas from the Netherlands, Concesan from Portugal, etc.

01 Tudor's youthful reform

After experiencing the glory of nine consecutive championships, Juventus gradually fell into a trough due to the lack of timely renewal. Even though he fought on one-sided front last season, he still failed to shake Inter Milan's dominance. In March this year, Juventus decided to make major adjustments, dismissing coach Mota and taking over by Croatian coach Tudor. Tudor is a Juventus legend who played here from 1998 to 2007 and won two Serie A titles with the team.

Tudor's appointment marks the acceleration of Juventus' rejuvenation process. After active operation throughout the summer transfer window, Juventus completed the reorganization of the lineup and the team's average age dropped significantly. Juventus' age structure is more reasonable now, and the performance of young players is full of expectations. The new No. 10 Yilditz is only 19 years old, but he contributed an assist in the game.

02 Strategic adjustment of the Champions League roster

Juventus has officially confirmed the roster of the teams in the 2025-26 Champions League season, with all new players on the list, but Polish forward Milik was excluded. All teams participating in the 2025-26 Champions League must submit their official roster on Tuesday, September 2. The Zebra Legion has officially announced their choice, without any unexpected surprises. All summer signings for the club have been selected, including Gergrova and Oppenda arriving on the day of the deadline.

Champions League participating teams must submit A list and B list. There are up to 25 people on the A list, of which 8 must be "local training". At least 4 of these 8 people must come from the club's own youth training system. The club can list an unlimited number of players on the B list, but they must be born after January 1, 2004 and must play for the club for two years starting at the age of 15 or older. Yilditz was placed on the B list by Juventus instead of A list.

03 Yilditz's contract renewal progress

Juventus Club plans to renew the contract with the Turkish genius Yilditz as soon as possible, with an annual salary significantly increased from the current 1.5 million euros to 3.5 million euros. According to the Turin Sports Daily, the club is actively preparing to extend the contract for the 20-year-old young player and give him corresponding financial returns in recognition of his outstanding performance over the past year. Although Irdez's existing contract expires in 2029, Juventus does not intend to relax his management. The club hopes to start contract renewal negotiations with Ilditz's father and agent Enjin as soon as possible after international match days.

As an important part of the team's reconstruction, Ilditz's performance last season was impressive. He scored 12 goals and contributed 9 assists, showing great potential and value. The annual salary of the new contract will start from 3.5 million euros after tax, and as the contract years increase year by year, the fixed annual salary may exceed 4 million euros. With the bonus, the total annual salary will be expected to exceed 5 million euros.

04 Opportunities and Challenges in the new season of Serie A have been held for two rounds. Juventus is the only team to win two consecutive victories, and has won three goals in both games, showing stronger viewing and aggressiveness. This is in stark contrast to the dull performance of last season. This also once again proves that changing coaches is like changing swords, and young players have great potential. Although Inter Milan is still strong, Juventus has brought more hope to fans. Although it may be difficult to shake Inter Milan's dominance this season, I believe that in the next one or two years, Juventus will be able to regain the Serie A championship.

Juventus' young lineup lacks experience, especially in the high-intensity and high-pressure arena such as the Champions League knockout stage. For the first time in 30 years, Juventus has not won the Champions League title in the Champions League knockout stage. After Danilo left the team, there was no "Champions League champion" again. This is in stark contrast to past periods when relying on experienced champions like C. Ronaldo, Pirlo and Del Piero.

The first match of the Champions League in the new season, Juventus will send one of the youngest starting lineups in club history. This is in sharp contrast to Juventus, whose average age was nearly 31 years old in the 2017 Champions League final. Young means vitality, the future, and also means setbacks and tuition fees in the process of growth. The Zebra Legion, which has walked through glory and trough, is looking for a balance between the storm of youth and the inheritance of experience. This young Juventus, who has no members of the Champions League, is writing a new chapter in the club's history. After the international match day, the Italian national derby against Inter Milan on September 13 will be the first important test to test the quality of this young Juventus.
