Bro, Juventus should focus on youth development for long-term sustainability. As someone who tracks Fenerbahçe’s young players’ stats annually, I can say that having 30-40% young players in the squad reduces costs and strengthens fan loyalty. Juventus could set a similar goal, making it mandatory to promote up to 20% local young players to the first team every season, balancing the rest with high-potential transfers and experienced stars.
I think the practical solution is to loan young talents to Serie A or Serie B clubs and log their weekly performance reports into a database. This way, the coach gets real-time insights on form and adaptation, allowing quick integration into the first team if needed. Measuring youth investments with an "intensity + return" metric keeps financial balance and ensures consistent on-field competitiveness. Honestly, this model will also help Juventus maintain its brand value in the long run.
