With Juve currently training in Germany, ahead of Sunday’s clash with Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, there have been two sets of tactical approaches tested out.
This is because the squad looked off the mark last Saturday, held 2-2 by Serie B side AC Reggiana.
A new friendly has been hastily arranged, with Juve visiting Atalanta on 16 August, when any formation tweaks are likely to be tested against Ivan Juric’s side.
Last month’s newcomer Jonathan David, a brilliant goal poacher for Canada and in recent years LOSC Lille, is currently Tudor’s favored center forward.
Yet the club are trying to reinforce their attack, with unsettled striker Dusan Vlahovic desperately looking for an escape route with a leading European team.
As the proposed return of Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain remains up in the air, Juve have been looking at alternative attackers.
Alonso's U-turn over Garcia
Gonzalo Garcia was expected to exit Real Madrid after their FIFA Club World Cup campaign, but he became one of four players to jointly win the Golden Boot at the cash-rich competition.
The Spanish star scored four goals to split the coveted award with ex-Juventus ace Angel Di Maria (Benfica), former Juve target Serhou Guriassy (Borussia Dortmund) and Marcos Leonardo (Al-Hilal FC).
Garcia enjoyed an outstanding Club World Cup, which has convinced manager Xabi Alonso to retain his services despite Juve’s audacious bid of €25 million (US$29.2m) for the former Real Youth Academy ace.
There remains uncertainty over the future of Vlahovic, who has refused a contract extension with a reduced salary. The 25-year-old has constantly rejected offers to switch to the Saudi Pro League and Turkish Super Lig.
No Vlahovic in Premier League
His agent made a whistlestop visit to England, with Manchester United the only Premier League to show serious interest in the Serbia star.
Vlahovic was a back-up plan for United, who have now shelved a potential transfer as they landed former Juve target Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
Vlahovic is seeking an escape route from the Turin giants before their Serie A season kicks off on 24 August.
He has snubbed the latest Fenerbahce bid, which has narrowed down his options to being reunited with ex-Juventus boss Max Allegri at AC Milan or joining Spanish giants Villarreal.
