New Juventus football director Cristiano Giuntoli says they're pleased with their early market work.

Giuntoli, at his presentation media conference, also stated Leonardo Bonucci was among players to be encouraged to leave.

He said: "I want to clarify, the club has already moved in an extraordinary way in June.

"It was not so easy to confirm (Adrien) Rabiot who is among the best in the world, plays in the starting team for France, took (Timothy) Weah who has great perspective and talent and redeemed (Arek) Milik.

"Juve has already done its market. We have many players and we need to rationalize the squad, these are the priorities. In the future, certainly taking young players is important, but we need to find a balance between sustainability and competitiveness. We need to mix talent and youth and experience to be competitive.

"We never said (Weston) McKennie out of the project. We are negotiating (Denis) Zakaria and Arthur with a couple of clubs and also Bonucci but so far we haven't found anything that suits him."
