Juventus managing director Giuseppe Marotta has ruled out a summer overhaul of the club’s squad despite another disappointing season.

Juventus brought in 10 new players last summer and three more in the January transfer window as they tried to banish memories of last season’s disastrous seventh-place finish.

But despite investing in a number of internationals, Juve have struggled to improve on their last campaign and sit seventh again with five games left.

Their chances of finishing in the top four remain remote as they trail fourth-placed Lazio by eight points. But in the following off season, Juve will be concentrating on acquiring quality.

“When we arrived we found a cycle that was destined to come to its end,” said Marotta, who took over as managing director last summer when Andrea Agnelli became the new president.

“Last summer we started a new cycle with great difficulty, starting from afresh. In the last few games we’ve used 14-16 players of whom 11-13 were new (this season).

“Now we want to keep improving this group while identifying two or three quality players who can benefit the team.”
