Juventus will face Barcelona in a friendly match tonight and the Old Lady’s boss Max Allegri has held a quick press conference to talk about the game and how the transfer window is going so far. Juventus have sold Leonardo Bonucci to AC Milan but have already made four major signings: Mattia De Sciglio, Douglas Costa, Wojciech Szczesny and Federico Bernardeschi.

Talking to assembled media from the New York’s Red Bull Arena, where Juve will face Barça tonight, Allegri said: “We’ll play with a four-man defence this season and we may not replace Bonucci. We are ok with the players we have but maybe there could be a chance to sign a reinforcement, who knows.”

“After the Champions League final many things have been said. I am sorry because we didn’t celebrate the scudetto and the Coppa Italia like we should have done.”

Talking about Dybala’s Barcelona links, Allegri said: “I don’t fear Dybala will go to Barcelona. Bonucci? That’s an usual situation in football, sometimes players feel they want to leave.”
