The Bianconeri are coming off a largely disappointing 2025-2026 campaign, where they fell away in the race for UEFA Champions League football late on, settling in the end for a sixth-placed league finish.

Spalletti, who replaced Igor Tudor midway through last season, has overseen a promising pre-season amid a minor squad overhaul, with Guglielmo Vicario, Randal Kolo Muani, Kerim Alajbegovic, Zeki Celik and Jhon Lucumi among the notable arrivals.

Despite those changes, Spalletti believes Juve still has work to do, pointing to the fierce competition in Serie A and the improvements made by rival Inter Milan, Napoli, AC Milan and Roma.

"The bell has rung, the season has started, and whoever isn't ready will feel themselves getting pushed towards the exit," the Juve boss warned.

"Teams are always evolving, so players must be prepared to go with that flow.

"There are seven or eight teams who can challenge for the top four, and last season we missed out.

"We've got to prove ourselves and become a balanced team. We have improved, but only the results will show us how much we've improved.

"The squad right now is cohesive, united, but in the future I'd like us to also be solid, robust, determined.

"In general, we've had a good transfer market, some areas need a few cosmetic changes, others entire restoration projects.

"We had a good transfer strategy and are in a position to do more, but Milan made good investments, Inter and Napoli were already strong, Roma signed important players.

"They are all up there and have the same ambition, we all want to win many games."

Spalletti also congratulated newly-promoted Frosinone ahead of its return to the top-flight, adding: "I want to congratulate Frosinone on returning to Serie A and my friend Massimiliano Alvini for the work he did to achieve promotion."
