New Juventus signings struggling to impress

Gazzetta highlights that new coach Luciano Spalletti will have to revive newcomers at the Allianz Stadium this season as summer signings have failed to justify their price tags.

Canada international Jonathan David has only scored one goal and delivered one assist so far in 2025-26, while the other assist was provided by Joao Mario.

Lois Openda hasn’t scored a goal in the last seven months, while David found the net on his Serie A debut in August, but has gone 77 days without putting his name on the scoresheet.

Just one new signing started a game under Spalletti

Joao Mario has only started in three games from 15 and has never played a full match. On the other hand, Alberto Costa, who joined Porto in a player-plus-cash swap deal, has produced seven assists in 15 matches this term.

Openda was the only new signing to start a game in three outings under Spalletti.

Last but not least, Edon Zhegrova was only deployed for 4% of available minutes under Igor Tudor and 16% under Spalletti, but the Italian tactician has said he’s confident that the Kosovo international will soon regain full fitness
