Fiorentina midfielder Borja Valero has insisted that Juventus's signings of Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez make them even stronger favourites for Serie A than usual.
Valero said that although it was good to see fellow Spaniard Llorente arrive in Italy, it would make things much harder for other teams to get close to Juve.
"Juve have made a great signing," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Unfortunately for us, he will help Juve to more trophies.
"With Llorente and Tevez, Antonio Conte's club are, more than ever, favourites to win the Scudetto again."
Valero joined Fiorentina from Villarreal last summer and made 37 Serie A appearances in the 2012-13 season.
