Juventus forced to wait until the summer to land midfield target Juventus has been monitoring Khephren Thuram for several months and was even linked with a potential move for him in the January transfer window. Thuram, a midfielder, has established himself as one of the top players in his position in Ligue 1, and Juventus is interested in adding him to their squad to address the midfield void. While the Bianconeri have several players on their radar, the Frenchman is their primary target, and they have been aiming to acquire him in January. However, it appears increasingly unlikely that Thuram will make a move in January, as he is an integral part of the current Nice team. ............

Why Juve’s pursuit of Koopmeiners is becoming complicated Juventus could reportedly struggle in their attempts to put the signature of Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners on paper. Long before the summer transfer session started, the Old Lady had identified the Dutchman as their primary target to enhance the quality of the squad. ............ But according to journalist Filippo Bonsignore, the deal is getting increasingly complicated, especially with Atalanta refusing to drop their price. The Turin-based giants started with an opening bid worth 40 million, and could raise their offer to 45M. But the gap remains significant. They also tried to offer the services of Matias Soulé and Dean Huijsen but to no avail. The Orobici have already brought in Nicolo Zaniolo as a potential replacement and could be searching for a midfielder with similar characteristics to Koopmeiners. Yet, they don’t intend to offer any discounts on the Netherlands international this summer. ............ The Bianconeri already have an agreement with Koopmeiners over personal terms. He would sign a five-year contract that would see him earn 4.5 million euros per season. Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/why-juves-pursuit-of-koopmeiners-is-becoming-complicated/

Second, Motta reportedly considers him unsuitable for his tactical plans. ............ Nevertheless, Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio believes Chiesa is still determined to show up at Continassa this summer and prove his worth. ............ However, Di Marzio insists that the Bianoneri haven’t offered him a new contract.

This is not the first time Juve has been involved in a swap deal to sign players, and the last time they did it, it did not end well.

With Arthur-Pjanic yes an exchange was built around budgetary needs, while with Douglas Luiz an operation was built around a pitch need: Thiago Motta strongly wanted the Brazilian to build the midfield around him.” ............
