Juventus and the Argentine players have a long relationship since the prehistoric era of soccer and the club. Paulo Dybala dazzles now . Gonzalo Higuaín , the one with the millionaire pass, also returned and Carlos Tevez touched glory in his two years at the club. Many decades before, the arrival of Enrique Omar Sívori was an explosion, and far and long ago names such as Luis "Doble Ancho" Monti appeared , runner-up in the World Cup of 30 with Argentina and champion in 34 with Italy.
When Juve won the first of these nine titles, Paulo Dybala debuted at Instituto. He then moved to Palermo and landed in Turin in the 2015-16 season. He was the team's goalscorer that year with 19 goals but the Calcio capocannoniere was a certain Gonzalo Higuain with the astronomical number of 36 goals with the Napoli shirt. Pipita would later write her story in the black and white T-shirt.
Dybala is the captain, in the absence of Chiellini. He is the absolute idol of the fans and even discusses leadership for Cristiano Ronaldo, who arrived two years ago. The Cordovan made 11 goals in his second year at Juve; 22 in the third, when he returned to be the team's top scorer; and his performance fell last year with just 5 goals, plagued by continued injuries. Now, until the match with Sampdoria he had 11 goals.
Gonzalo Higuaín caused an earthquake when he went from Napoli to Juventus in July 2016. The Turin club paid 90 million euros for Pipita . At that time it was the third most expensive pass in history behind the 94 and 103 that Real Madrid had paid for Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, respectively.

In his three seasons in Napoli, Higuaín had converted 71 goals in Serie A and a total of 92 counting Cups. The first year at Juve he "paid" with 24 goals in the championship and was the team's top scorer. In the following he scored 16 but was loaned to Milan and Chelsea in 2018-19, and returned this year to Turin. The curious fact was that he was reunited with Cristiano, with whom he had made a successful duo at Real Madrid.
The third Argentine outstanding in these nine years of success was Carlos Tevez . In proportion, perhaps the most effective. It came when Italy and the world were still moved because there was a new Pope. And he was Argentine. Jorge Bergoglio was Francisco from March 13, 2013 and Carlitos signed a contract on June 26. They offered him and accepted the T-shirt 10. "How can I be afraid to wear it if I already had it in Boca?" Asked Tevez, who had just arrived from Manchester City.
Their production could not have been better. It was two years. He was champion twice, won the Italian Cup and the Super Cup. He debuted precisely in that final against Lazio and scored a goal in the Olympic. He was not the only one. He made 19 goals in the first season and 20 in the second, and both times top scorer for the team led by Allegri. Only the strawberry was missing for dessert. He lost the final of the 2015 Champions League in Berlin, with the 1-3 against Barcelona.
Roberto Pereyra was not under the big lights like the ones mentioned above, but he was champion in 2014-15 and 2015-16. It had its moment of ownership and almost never ceased to be "first change" in the time of Allegri. He left the club after those two years and went to the Premier League, where he just dropped with Watford.
He is not Argentine but he was formed in Boca and is an important piece in Juve for the last two years: Uruguayan Rodrigo Bentancur played 70 Serie A games and scored three goals in the last three years. He settled as an outside midfielder and now seems to take the post of Pjanic, who will go to Barcelona, as center pivot.

Daniel Osvaldo played 11 games and scored a goal in 2014-15 and scored 2 in 7 Champions League games. Guido Vadalá, trained in the Boca Juniors, was in Juve the following season but did not play any game in the championship.
