It is July 2015 and the Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri, is talking excitedly about the club’s latest signing. Juve may have won the league title by a whopping 17 points the previous season but Allegri wants his squad to evolve and to become even better.
“He seems like a little kid on the first day of school,” Allegri says of the new arrival.

He’s a huge, strong and charismatic signing for us. He’s shown great professionalism. You know, in terms of experience we’ve got all we need. I’m really pleased with this project.”
Who was the player the manager was so delighted to have landed? A certain Sami Khedira, who had made only 11 league appearances in his last season at Real Madrid, scoring no goals. His injury record was poor and there were even suggestions that, at 28, he had peaked. Juve and Allegri saw it differently. They saw a World Cup winner with huge potential and a desire to prove everyone wrong. The best thing about it? He arrived on a free transfer.
And the German midfielder is not the only player to have cost Juve nothing.

Alves and Khedira are two big reasons why Juve have reached the Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday and while no one is pretending that they are a poor club punching above their weight – they are, in fact, ridiculously wealthy – they have showed a lot of clubs around Europe how to recruit in recent years.
They have kept their reliable veterans at the back – Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli – brought in cheap but invaluable experience in Khedira and Alves and added star dust,

Perhaps the most impressive thing about Juve’s recent transfer policy is that they ended up with a net spend of only £15.67m last summer after selling Paul Pogba (who arrived on a free), Álvaro Morata and Roberto Pereyra among others.
Here are five Juventus players who – for very different price tags – have contributed towards making Allegri’s squad one of the best in European football.
The Brazilian has confounded his critics – once again – by overcoming a broken leg in November to play a crucial part in getting Juventus to the Champions League final. In the semi-finals against Monaco, the 34-year-old had a hand in all four Juventus goals in the 4-1 aggregate win,

He is an infectious character who has brought a bit of joy and sparkle to a “serious” dressing room. “I’m a big believer in energy, and I feel that what you do on the pitch reflects who you are off it,” he said last month. “That’s one problem I’ve had. In Italy team-mates can be a bit serious and not very expressive. I’m the complete opposite – I’m happy, fun to be around, and I like to get an atmosphere going.” Bonucci calls him “an alien” who has reached “surreal levels” this season.
