Former Juventus maestro Andrea Pirlo believes the Serie A champions made the right call in selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United and pointed to his former side's transfer recruits as reason for optimism, Goal.com reports.
The Bianconeri added five players to their championship-winning squad with Gonzalo Higuain, Miralem Pjanic, Marko Pjaca, Dani Alves and Medhi Benatia all increasing the options at Massimiliano Allegri's disposal.
Juve's new recruits have all contributed to the club's fine start to the season, with Higuain, a £75.3m signing from Napoli, scoring three goals in three Serie A wins for the defending champions.
Their start is in stark contrast compared to Pogba's, with the £89m facing heavy criticism for his subdued performance in the derby defeat against Manchester City last Saturday.
And Pirlo, who is now plying his trade for MLS outfit New York City FC, believes the added depth across the Juve team is reason enough to believe his former side made the right decision in selling the France international.
"It was the right choice, when you look at the players who came in," he told Sky. "After such a great transfer window, I think Juventus are now built to win everything.
"Looking from the outside, the Italian championship isn't that bad, but the transfer market showed that Juve are above everyone. It's like the French league. Juve are in a separate competition - at least, that's what the transfer window suggested. They're like PSG."
Juventus kick-off their Champions League campaign on Wednesday evening, welcoming La Liga side Sevilla to Turin. Allegri's men reached the final back in 2015 but failed to reach the quarter-final stage after being knocked out by Bayern Munich.
