Juventus have only Bonucci, de Ligt and Rugani as defenders now. Chiellini is leaving to join Los Angeles FC as you must have heard already. I think that Juventus will need to sign at least one defender to keep themselves decent about their defense. de Ligt is also rumoured to leave by the way as Chelsea are highly interested in him. But if Juventus let him go by only his release clause then this transfer may not happen. Because his release clause is worth 120 million euros.

Bonucci is a leader of Juventus defense system now. He is the oldest, has most experience and he can teach, lead Rugani and de Ligt like Barzagli and Chiellini helped him when he was young. Rugani does not improve too much after some seasons in Turin. It seems Rugani has reached to his best and can not improve more. De Ligt is younger than Rugani and can improve himself in coming years.

I read rumors that De Ligt can move out of Juventus and some people said he is more relevant for Premier League than Serie A.

Bonucci and Matthijs de Ligt are two centre-backs and when it comes to new signings for centre-backs, those new signings would be second-tier players or to prepare if Bonucci retires. Basically the current Juventus squad is already very good from the goalkeepers and defenders everything is already in a good squad and in midfield until the Juventus striker has looked even better for next season. I personally don't see any drawbacks in any of Juventus' lines at the moment, although indeed, young, talented players are a must-have considering regeneration is an important part of maintaining a good performance.

The current contract of De Ligt is counting to the end and if Juventus can not come back to top of Serie A and go far in Champions League, they will not be able to convince De Ligt to stay and expand his contract with the club. So his future will not only depend on himself but will also depend on performance of Juventus. De Ligt has his own ambition too so he will not satisfy to stay in Juventus if they can not win titles.

If De Ligt want to leave Juve, a lot of clubs in the Europe will want to sign a contract with him.
