Juventus have officially confirmed their Champions League squad list for the first half of the 2025-26 campaign, and to no real surprise, Arkadiusz Milik has not been included among Igor Tudor’s selections. 

All teams participating in the 2025-26 Champions League must submit their official squad lists on Tuesday, September 2. 

The Bianconeri have officially announced their selections, with no major surprises. All of the club’s summer signings have been selected, including deadline day arrivals Edon Zhegrova and Lois Openda. 

Dusan Vlahovic, who had been linked with a move away from the Old Lady for the vast majority of the summer window, did not secure a move away from the Allianz Stadium in the end, and has also been included alongside fellow centre-forwards Openda and Jonathan David. 

Technically, participating teams will all submit two squads, titled List A and List B. Teams can name a maximum of 25 players in List A. Eight of those must be ‘locally trained’ ie. having come through an academy in Italy, and at least four of those eight must have come through the club’s own academy system, or in other words ‘club-trained’. 

Clubs can name an unlimited number of players to List B. They must be born after January 1, 2004, and must have been eligible to play for their club for an interrupted period of two years from the age of 15 upwards. 

Curiously, Kenan Yildiz has been included in Juventus’s List B rather than List A.
