**Juventus Face Transition Challenges as Pogba Steps Up Amid Key Departures**
Last season’s Serie A champions Juventus are encountering a difficult start to their title defence, grappling with the loss of influential figures such as Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal. The departure of these stalwarts has left a void in the midfield, placing significant pressure on Paul Pogba to fill the playmaker role.
However, former AC Milan defender Alessandro Costacurta remains optimistic about Pogba’s development. Drawing parallels with Milan’s own transitional period in the late 1990s, Costacurta told Italian outlet Tuttosport: “When Baresi and Tassotti left AC Milan in 1997, Maldini struggled initially but eventually grew into the leader we all came to know. I see a similar path for Pogba at Juventus.”
Despite the early challenges, Pogba’s trajectory suggests that he could evolve into the central figure Juventus need. Yet, uncertainty lingers over his long-term commitment to the club, as the talented Franco-Guinean midfielder continues to attract interest from top European teams.
