Juventus legend Fabrizio Ravanelli believes Kenan Yildiz, Gleison Bremer and Francisco Concei\u00e7ao should build the \u2018strong core\u2019 of the Bianconeri\u2019s team in 2026-27, but is disappointed by Jonathan David: \u2018I don\u2019t think he\u2019s a player you can rely on to win Champions League titles or Scudetti.\u2019<\/p>\n

Former Juventus and Italy striker Ravanelli, a 1996 Champions League winner with the Bianconeri, shared his thoughts on the Bianconeri\u2019s attacking struggles this season.<\/p>\n

Canada international David has scored eight goals across all competitions, resulting in the third-top goal scorer at Juventus in 2025-26 after Kenan Yildiz and Weston McKennie. Yet, Ravanelli feels the ex-Lille forward hasn\u2019t shown enough quality in his first season in Turin.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a negative season. He has scored some goals, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s a player you can rely on to win Champions League titles or Scudetti,\u201d Ravanelli told Gazzetta.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has paid a high price for the leap in quality. Playing at Juventus and in the French league, without too much pressure, is not the same as making a difference at Juventus. The shirt\u2019s weight is much more difficult to bear, and you need a great personality. The difference between a champion and a good player nowadays lies in personality, character, and determination. You need to have these qualities to play at Juventus, or you\u2019ll struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dusan Vlahovic has missed most of the season due to fitness issues, including surgery that sidelined him for four months.<\/p>\n

Ravanelli: Zhegrova has more personality than David and Openda<\/h2>\n

Just like David, Edon Zhegrova and Lois Openda also joined Juventus last summer, but Ravanelli would rely on just one of them going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Zhegrova has more personality than others,\u201d said the ex-striker.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince Spalletti\u2019s arrival, David and Openda have always given me the impression that they don\u2019t really want to take on too much responsibility. On the other hand, Zhagrova is someone worth continuing to invest in because he has real quality. I\u2019d love to see him in a positive Juventus side and in a winning environment. He\u2019s the kind of player who embraces responsibility, not someone who, after failing one dribble, shies away from trying another. He has a very strong personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there are three or four players Juventus can build on,\u201d Ravanelli concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cYildiz, Bremer, and Concei\u00e7ao must be retained to build the strong core of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the same interview, Ravanelli also discussed Juventus\u2019 possible reinforcements from next season, suggesting that the Bianconeri should try to sign Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal.<\/p>\n
