Juventus’ money drama has been a running joke for a couple of seasons. Even with the new CL slot locked (squeaked past Venezia 3-2, if anyone cares about the details), they’re not looking like a side ready to spend big on a galactico summer. The numbers back it up: Juve ended fourth with +23 goal difference, but you don’t see a squad oozing depth, just enough to get them over the line, but nowhere near the Inter/Napoli arms race

That “just keep what we have” idea feels more like a necessary evil than a strategy. You keep the same old core, and you get the same old ceiling. Look at Lazio, who tried to patch over squad holes and ended up with a classic final-day flop, missing Europe because they couldn’t break down 10-man Lecce despite 26 shots and 72% possession

Inter? Yeah, financially sound, lots of buzz, but the last two weeks showed cracks, couldn’t beat Como and let Napoli snatch the title with their own late push. Napoli, by the way, won with the highest points (82) and a ridiculous +32 GD. If there’s any team in Serie A set up to keep pulling fans in and draw talent, it’s Napoli, not just Inter

Wouldn’t be surprised if Juve settle for one flashy name, throw some marketing behind it, but spend most of the season grinding out points with a squad that’s more balanced-sheet than world-beater. That’s the stability you get when the books come first
