Juventus are focusing their transfer strategy<\/a> on the attack and midfield, so this could force Igor Tudor to use Tiago Djal\u00f2 and Daniele Rugani in defence.<\/p>\n

It had been assumed going into pre-season that these two players would be on the way out, replaced by new signings, but the slow progress of their moves mean time is running short.<\/p>\n

With the efforts on finding new strikers and midfielders, the defence is being left behind and will probably not have many changes at all this summer.<\/p>\n

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a>, this also means potentially having to make the most of two players who had not been top of Tudor\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

Rugani spent last season on loan with Ajax<\/a> and was only called back to base early to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

Now the versatile central defender, who turns 31 tomorrow, is becoming a genuine option for the Bianconeri to call upon.<\/p>\n

The same goes for Djal\u00f2, who has the benefit of being able to play in the centre, at right-back or left-back.<\/p>\n

He just finished a loan experience at FC Porto and was not expected to remain in Turin, but again could be kept just to maintain the numbers.<\/p>\n
