Juve's four prospective signings to boost the Champions League hope

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival to Juventus had, above all, a heavy significance. The Champions League trophy became an obsession for the entire team and, even with Cristiano's presence, Juventus were kicked out of the tournament in a shock loss to the Ajax youngsters. 

This year, the team is looking to secure a win by strengthening the squad - which already features some of the world's best players. The likes of Paul Pogba, Matthijs de Ligt, Gianluigi Buffon and Adrien Rabiot have all been linked to the Italian team, with some of those signings closer to materializing than others. 

Manchester United's Pogba has been on the tight rope for some time. Real Madrid and Juventus are his two main destinations, but the latest news cycle has placed him in Italy. 

Indeed, reports coming from Italian newspapers have assured that the Frenchman is set for a comeback to a team that he once called home and that saw him at his best, with performances and success he has not managed to reach since coming to the Premier League.  

On the same day that 'Tuttosport' claimed Pogba will be making a comeback as a 'bianconero', other Italian newspapers announced an agreement with De Ligt. The excitement is palpable in Italy, since De Ligt is one of the most coveted signings of the summer transfer market. 

Barcelona and PSG are still after the Dutchman. His great season at Ajax, the jump to the national team in such a resounding way and his age (only 19 years) are to blame. If the agreement is true, only the negotiations between Juve and Ajax will be closed.

The possibility of Buffon's return to Juventus was also on the agenda on Tuesday. The goalkeeper announced that he would not continue in PSG and several sources were already analyzing the options for return. He continues to chase the eagerly wanted Champions League, the same prize they pursue from the offices and from the dressing room.

Finally, Rabiot completes the list of renowned reinforcements and guarantees. The Frenchman also seemed to be close to a Barça move a few months ago, but he will finally not play in La Liga and everything points to a commitment, without a transfer fee, with the 'Vecchia Singora'.

We already know how the rumours and the ups and downs of the market are, but, at the moment, Juventus seems set to become a powerhouse will all these signings, and the Champions League could very well be within reach for the Turin team.
