Juventus want to make big changes to the squad ahead of next season. With the departure of one of their stars, Paulo Dybala, 'The Old Lady' is assessing its numbers in attack next season. Angel Di Maria is also a player of interest and the team from Turin have one eye on Filip Kostic, one of the stars in the Europa League.

After a season unlike the rest, Juventus finished Serie A in fourth spot and qualified for next season´s edition of the Champions League. Allegri´s men struggled at the start of the season, due to the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, and did not put together a good league campaign.

Furthermore, next season they will have to deal with the departure of Paulo Dybala, who did not renew his contract with the 'Bianconeri' and hopes to move to Inter or Roma. In light of this situation, the club from Turin have now got their eyes on several targets to limit the damage caused by these departures. 

One of these is Angel Di Maria, who has now left PSG and seems to have reached a deal with Juve. But on the other hand, 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' reported this Saturday that the Italian team has the sensation from the Europa League in mind.

This is no other than Filip Kostic, who shone against Barcelona in the quarter finals and assisted Borre in the final in Seville. The Croatian for Eintracht Frankfurt would not rule out the possibility of Di Maria and can play on both flanks at Juve.

While its true that he is not well known for being a goalscorer (he has seven goals) but has recorded 14 assists this season. Nevertheless, his performances in the Europa League attracted people's attention. Furthermore, another player that Juve have their eyes on is Zaniolo, the central midfielder for Roma.
