Bringing in great players is every club's dream but the problem is that Juventus doesn't have enough budget to get these players, so what they do is compete without forcing themselves meaning they understand their abilities. For next season I think the situation will still be the same Juventus is only able to compete for the top 4 or tickets to the Champions League and we don't know how long they will be in this situation.
Juventus is quite active in targeting the players they want to recruit, but Juventus has a just barely budget so it cannot recruit players who are expensive. It can only negotiate with the club and players at a price it can afford if the club does not agree with Juventus' offer. Juventus can't do anything other than look for players who are cheaper but have good performance, even though finding players with good performance and cheap is very difficult unless they recruit players from lower level clubs.
Recruiting players from lower level clubs does not have a very high market value, but Thiago Motta must look at the potential he has well before deciding to recruit the player and see what his track record is. If the coach feels he is able to hone him, then Juventus can look for players at low prices but with a note. The coach can accept it and build the players' performance well.
