Juventus Transfer Market

Juventus wants to sign Atalanta loanee in January

 

 

Marco Palestra has been performing impressively on loan at Cagliari from Atalanta this season, and the defender has firmly caught the attention of Juventus. The men in black and white continue to monitor the transfer market closely, keeping track of several key players as they seek to strengthen their squad. While it remains uncertain how active Juventus will be when the transfer window reopens in around 20 days, Palestra is one player who could potentially make the move to Turin. The defender’s development and current form have made him one of the most talked-about young talents in Serie A this season, attracting interest from multiple top clubs. ............

 

Palestra’s performances at Cagliari have earned him widespread praise, reflecting his growth and consistency this season. His defensive awareness, ability to read the game, and versatility on the pitch have made him a standout performer for the Sardinian side. This form is positive news for his parent club, Atalanta, as it ensures he will either return ready to contribute to the first team or attract a substantial transfer fee. Palestra is one of the standout talents developed by the Bergamo side, and Juventus are reportedly keen to secure his signature while the opportunity remains, recognising the long-term potential he offers as well as his immediate impact on the field. ............

 

Juventus may not wait until the end of the season to sign Palestra and is reportedly considering moving for him as early as next month. Atalanta are aware of Juventus’ interest, and the report claims La Dea have no objections to cashing in on the defender in the upcoming transfer window. This suggests that both clubs could be closer to reaching an agreement than public speculation currently indicates. If Juventus act swiftly, Palestra could become an important addition to their squad, providing defensive stability and youth development prospects. ............

Juventus open talks to sign a midfielder that Spalletti likes

 

 

Juventus’ long-standing pursuit of Davide Frattesi appears to be entering a decisive phase as the club considers a renewed effort to bring the midfielder to Turin. Their interest dates back to his time at Sassuolo, when they battled Inter Milan for his signature, only for the player to choose the Milan side as the next step in his career. Since arriving at Inter, he has not become a consistent starter, and this lack of regular involvement has created the conditions for a possible move. Juventus have re-emerged as a serious option, and the motivation behind their renewed effort stems largely from Luciano Spalletti’s admiration for the player. ............

 

Frattesi impressed Spalletti during the manager’s tenure with Italy. While several players struggled to adapt to his demands, Frattesi consistently stood out with performances that matched the intensity and tactical discipline expected at international level. This positive impression has remained with the current Juventus manager and has strongly influenced the club’s transfer priorities. ............

 

Juventus have now opened contact with Frattesi’s entourage in an effort to understand what would be required to complete a deal. The Bianconeri continue to follow the player carefully, encouraged by the belief that his reduced involvement under the current Inter manager makes a transfer more attainable. Many observers consider the move plausible given the midfielder’s need for regular football and Spalletti’s clear interest in integrating him into his squad. Juventus view Frattesi as a player capable of strengthening their midfield options immediately while also fitting into their long-term vision. ............

Juventus target does not want to renew his Saudi deal

 

 

Juventus have received a significant boost in its pursuit of Marcelo Brozovic, a player Luciano Spalletti is keen to work with again. The pair previously collaborated at Inter Milan, where Spalletti oversaw an important phase of the midfielder’s development. Now managing Juventus, Spalletti is attempting to strengthen a midfield that has struggled to reach its full potential, leading to growing expectations that the club will reinforce this area in the upcoming transfer window. Although the Bianconeri are showing improvement under his guidance, the squad still requires additional quality and depth, and the next two transfer windows are viewed as crucial periods for targeted recruitment. ............

 

Next month presents a timely opportunity for Spalletti to integrate new talent, and Brozovic appears to be one of the players he would readily welcome into the group. The Croatia international currently plays for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, yet he has no plans to extend his existing contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2026. This development has opened the door for interested clubs to monitor his situation closely. For Juventus, it creates a realistic pathway towards securing a midfielder proven at the highest level, one Spalletti already understands well from their time together in Serie A. ............

 

This situation could allow Al Nassr to consider his departure as early as next month if Juventus present an offer that satisfies the club. A January move would enable Spalletti to deploy Brozovic immediately, potentially addressing some of the midfield difficulties that have challenged his side in recent months. However, should a winter transfer prove unattainable, there remains the possibility of arranging a pre-contract agreement. Under such circumstances, Brozovic would join Juventus in the summer, which may, in fact, provide a more structured and strategic moment for squad enhancement. ............

How Arsenal plans to beat Juventus to sign La Liga man

 

 

Elche midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza has emerged as a significant target for Juventus, although the Bianconeri face strong competition in their pursuit of the highly regarded youngster. Widely compared to Barcelona’s Pedri, Mendoza is viewed by many observers as one of the finest emerging talents in Spain. At 20, he remains a raw prospect, yet his performances already suggest exceptional potential. Those who have monitored his progress note his rapid development and his ability to influence matches with maturity well beyond his years. Juventus regard him as an ideal addition to their wider project, believing he could enter their senior squad immediately while still offering long-term value. ............

 

However, Juventus are not alone in its admiration. Mendoza has also attracted the attention of Arsenal, a club with a long-standing record of recruiting promising players from Spain. The Gunners are said to consider him among the most impressive young midfielders in the country, a view that aligns with their broader transfer strategy. This interest presents Juventus with a considerable challenge, as they are fully aware of Arsenal’s effectiveness in the Spanish market and recognise that the London club’s involvement complicates their plans. The men in black and white would be disappointed by any further progress Arsenal make in this pursuit, especially given their desire to secure a player they believe could quickly become an important figure. ............

 

In response to the mounting competition, Juventus are exploring ways to strengthen its offer. The club intend to propose a very high salary that they expect no other suitor would match. This approach reflects the seriousness with which they view Mendoza’s potential contribution and their determination to outmanoeuvre rival clubs. ............

Douglas Luiz is now close to earning a permanent move to Nottingham Forest

 

 

Douglas Luiz joined Nottingham Forest on loan from Juventus in the summer, and the move includes clauses that could make the transfer permanent if certain conditions are fulfilled. The midfielder endured an unhappy season at Juventus before returning to the Premier League, a competition in which he has previously produced the best football of his career. His performances have improved since his return, suggesting that he is far more comfortable in England than he ever was in Turin. ............

 

Juventus continue to monitor his progress closely, hoping that he reaches the threshold required for Nottingham Forest to trigger the permanent transfer clause. The club believe that a consistent run of matches would see the midfielder retained by Forest, helping Juventus conclude his time in Turin while also generating the expected fee. ............

 

The agreement states that if Luiz plays at least forty-five minutes in fifteen matches, Forest will be obliged to sign him permanently. Despite his injury history, he is already making progress towards this target. He has featured in about seven matches that satisfy the required conditions, meaning he now needs just over half of that total to activate the clause. ............

German clubs fighting Juventus for Real Madrid man

 

 

 

Gonzalo Garcia is finding opportunities limited at Real Madrid this season, despite being one of the club’s standout performers at the Club World Cup in the summer. The striker enjoyed an exceptional tournament, stepping in when Kylian Mbappe was injured and unable to feature. Garcia rose to the challenge and ensured Los Merengues continued to perform at a high level without their French goal scorer.

His displays were so impressive that Madrid chose not to allow him to leave on loan during the summer. ............

 

However, the reality of competing at the Bernabeu has proven difficult. With significant pressure on the team to deliver results, Garcia has struggled to secure consistent minutes this season. The competition for places has limited his involvement, and this lack of game time has fuelled speculation that a loan move could be considered to aid his development.

 

Despite the club’s earlier decision to keep him, circumstances have changed, and a temporary departure is now being discussed as a possible solution. Garcia remains highly regarded, but the demands of the campaign have made it challenging for him to feature regularly in Madrid’s plans. ............

 

Juventus are monitoring the situation closely as it looks to strengthen a misfiring attack, particularly with Dusan Vlahovic currently injured. A loan move is viewed as the ideal outcome for the Italian side, allowing them to bolster their options without a long-term commitment.

 

However, Juventus face strong competition. Bundesliga clubs Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart are also keen on adding Garcia to their squads when the next transfer window opens. Both clubs are prepared to challenge Juventus for his signature should there be any indication that Real Madrid is willing to let him leave. ............

AC Milan joins Juventus in the race for Lecce man

 

 

Tiago Gabriel has emerged as one of the most sought-after defenders in Serie A, with top Italian clubs expected to pursue him either next month or in the summer of 2026. The Lecce defender has made an impressive start to the season, consistently performing at a high level whenever he takes to the pitch, demonstrating both composure and versatility in defence. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and the attention from the league’s leading clubs continues to grow. ............

 

Several top Serie A sides have been monitoring Gabriel closely, with Juventus among the most interested. The Bianconeri see him as an ideal addition to their squad, offering strength and reliability at the back. They are prepared to make a move if he continues to perform consistently until the end of the season. So far, he has been virtually faultless in league and cup competitions, and he is aware that maintaining focus and form will be crucial to securing a high-profile transfer. ............

 

AC Milan also has Gabriel on their radar and are prepared to explore a move if Lecce indicates that a deal could be arranged. Milan believes they could persuade the defender to join them rather than Juventus, particularly as the Bianconeri are facing a challenging period. Both clubs understand that negotiating with Lecce and convincing Gabriel of their project will be key to securing his signature. ............

“He’s a level above” – Luca Toni weighs in on Thuram-Frattesi swap

 

 

Retired Italian striker Luca Toni revealed which club would benefit more if Juventus were to exchange Khephren Thuram with Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi.

 

This rumour has been making the rounds in the Italian press over the past 48 hours or so. It stems from Luciano Spalletti’s great appreciation for Frattesi, who was curiously the top goal-scorer of his ill-fated tenure at the helm of the Italian national team. ............

 

While Inter have refused to consider Frattesi’s sale in the past, it has been reported that Giuseppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio have told their Juventus counterparts that they would be willing to do business, but only if Thuram’s card is on the table, as they’re interested in reuniting Khephren with his older brother, Marcus. ............

 

Nevertheless, Toni feels that the Old Lady would lose out in this proposed swap deal by giving up a player who is a cut above.

“Thuram is a step above Frattesi,” argued the 2006 World Cup winner.

 

“Frattesi can’t play in a two-man midfield. At most, you can put him behind the striker.”

 

The Inter player is considered a box-to-box striker, while Spalletti had often fielded him as an attacking midfielder, as he had done in the past with former Roma star Simone Perotta, who had somewhat similar attributes. ............

Marseille man could be first Juventus signing of January

 

 

Juventus is widely expected to be active during the January transfer window as the club looks to further strengthen its squad. The men in black and white have continued working to improve their group, to ensure the team remains competitive at the highest level. The Bianconeri regard themselves as one of the strongest sides in world football and are determined to maintain that standard through careful planning and recruitment. ............

 

The reopening of the transfer window next month presents an important opportunity. Juventus have already begun identifying players who could strengthen key areas of the team. Their approach reflects a broader strategy of building a squad capable of sustaining success over time, rather than relying solely on short-term solutions. This measured but ambitious outlook continues to shape their transfer planning as January approaches. ............

 

The primary target the men in black and white could focus on signing is Pierre Emile Højbjerg, who is currently enjoying relevance at Marseille. The Dane has established himself as a key figure for the Ligue 1 side, playing an important role in their midfield structure and overall balance.

 

Despite his importance to Marseille, Juventus have shown a strong interest in securing his signature. This interest underlines the club’s desire to add proven quality and experience to its squad as they seek further improvement. The report suggests that Juve could make their approach sooner than many expect, highlighting the seriousness of their intentions ahead of the January window. ............

Juventus eyeing free transfer for RB Leipzig midfielder in June

 

 

The January transfer window is fast approaching, but reports in Italy claim that Juventus are already looking ahead to the summer, when they could make a move for RB Leipzig midfielder Xaver Schlager. ............

 

Schlager is of interest to the Bianconeri given that his contract is set to expire in June and could be tempted away from the Bundesliga.

 

The 28-year-old has 134 Bundesliga appearances to his name, but is not currently a guaranteed starter under Ole Werner at RedBull Arena. ............

 

A central midfielder, also capable of playing in a more advanced role, Schlager would be comfortable covering in both a three-man or two-man midfield at Juventus.

 

The Austria international suffered a cruciate ligament injury in May of 2024, which kept him sidelined for most of the 2024-25 campaign. ............

Atletico Madrid starting to worry about the clause in Nicolas Gonzalez’s deal

 

 

Nicolas Gonzalez moved from Juventus to Atletico Madrid on loan during the summer, and the Argentinian has made a strong impression at his new club. His time in Turin was difficult after transferring from Fiorentina, and Juventus ultimately decided to offload him during the last transfer window. Since joining Atletico, Gonzalez has demonstrated his quality, establishing himself as one of the standout performers in La Liga. ............

 

However, his growing influence has also created a financial dilemma for the Spanish side. The loan agreement includes a clause stipulating that if Gonzalez plays at least 45 minutes in ten more of the remaining 21 league matches, Atletico will be required to pay 32 million euros to secure him permanently. This provision, which was designed to safeguard Juventus’s interests, now presents a high cost for Atletico. ............

 

The club reportedly appreciates Gonzalez’s contribution but is increasingly concerned about the financial implications of triggering the permanent transfer clause. Atletico may be forced to carefully manage his playing time to delay or renegotiate the payment. While they clearly value the player, the size of the fee has prompted discussions about whether it is prudent to continue using him extensively at this stage. ............

Juventus is eyeing a move for Chelsea man

 

 

Juventus is planning to strengthen its midfield next month as the club looks to add depth and quality to that area of the squad. While the Bianconeri already possess a strong group of players, there is a clear desire within the club to work with a broader range of options. Luciano Spalletti believes the midfield can reach a higher level, and this assessment has prompted internal discussions about reinforcements. ............

 

Pierre Emile Hojbjerg has emerged as Spalletti’s preferred option to reinforce the midfield. The manager sees the Dane as a player who could immediately improve the team’s stability and experience in the centre of the pitch. Juventus has explored the possibility of securing his services, with hopes of arranging an initial loan move. However, progress on that front appears complicated, as Olympique Marseille is reportedly reluctant to allow the midfielder to leave next month. This resistance has forced Juventus to reassess its options and widen the search for alternatives. ............

 

As a result, Juventus is now considering other targets and has turned its attention to Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos. The young player has found opportunities limited in West London and could benefit from a move that offers more regular playing time. Juventus believes it could provide that platform, potentially helping Santos develop while also strengthening its own squad. ............

Long-term Juventus target has decided to leave his present club

 

 

Karim Adeyemi has long been on Juventus’ radar, with the Bianconeri closely monitoring his development in the Bundesliga over several seasons. The club remains keen on adding him to their squad as they continue working to ensure the team is well-balanced and competitive across all areas. Adeyemi fits a profile Juventus values highly, combining pace, versatility and consistent attacking output. ............

 

A potential transfer to Napoli had been discussed at that time, but the move ultimately collapsed after Adeyemi chose to remain at Borussia Dortmund. His decision was based on a desire to continue his development where he was, believing it was the right environment for that stage of his career. That choice kept Juventus interested, knowing there could still be an opportunity to pursue him in the future. ............

 

That opportunity now appears to be taking shape. Adeyemi has informed his current employers that he is ready to leave and explore a new challenge elsewhere. While his club still considers him a key figure, there is recognition that he has served them well over the past few seasons. As a result, they are open to allowing him to depart when the right moment arrives.

 

For Juventus, this development is encouraging, as it aligns with their long-standing interest in the player. However, securing his signature will not be straightforward. Adeyemi’s quality and potential mean that several top clubs across Europe are also tracking his situation closely. Juventus must therefore be prepared for strong competition if they are to complete a deal. ............

Juventus rejects Arsenal’s proposal to swap players

 

 

Arsenal’s reported interest in Jonathan David comes as little surprise, given their long-standing admiration for the attacker dating back to his time at Lille. The Gunners were among the clubs keen on signing him during his prolific spell in France, and his name has once again been linked with a potential move to North London. This renewed speculation follows David’s transfer to Juventus at the start of the current season, when the Italian club secured his signature as a free agent ahead of several rivals. ............

 

Despite this slow start, David remains in a position where he still has time to prove himself. Adapting to a new league, tactical system, and environment can take time, and Juventus is aware of the need for patience. However, the pressure is increasing, and opportunities to establish himself as a reliable attacking option are becoming more important with each passing week. ............

 

Juventus recently had the chance to move on from David but chose not to do so. Arsenal proposed a swap deal involving Gabriel Jesus in exchange for the Canadian forward. The Bianconeri considered the offer but ultimately rejected it, deciding against altering their attacking options in that manner.

 

Although Jesus has previously been a target for Juventus, the club is not convinced that he would be the right fit at this stage. His recent injury issues have raised concerns about his ability to make an immediate and consistent impact. As a result, Juventus prefers to continue working with David, believing it is wiser to allow him more time to adjust to the demands of Serie A. ............

Inter Milan could be open to a loan move for Juventus target

 

 

Juventus are keen to add Davide Frattesi to their squad next month as they continue searching for midfielders who can improve their overall quality. The club views him as an ideal target due to his strong profile and previous experience working under Luciano Spalletti. The Juventus manager coached Frattesi at international level, and the midfielder was regarded as one of the standout performers during that period, despite the spell ending without lasting success. ............

 

Inter Milan currently values Frattesi at 35 million euros. Although he is not a regular starter in their side, they are open to letting him leave if their valuation is met. A move to Juventus could appeal to the midfielder, as it would likely provide him with more consistent playing time and a central role within the team. ............

 

Inter could be willing to allow Frattesi to leave on loan, provided the deal includes an option to buy. This structure would suit Juventus’ current transfer strategy and could offer a compromise that benefits both clubs. Inter would retain long-term control over the player’s future, while Juventus would gain immediate midfield reinforcement.

 

Frattesi previously turned down a move to Juventus in favour of joining Inter. However, circumstances have changed, and a switch to Turin could now be more appealing. ............

Juventus & Inter ready to replicate Cabal duel as they lock horns for new Verona revelation

 

 

Juventus and Inter could battle it out for another Hellas Verona full-back in the shape of Rafik Belghali.

 

The Bianconeri and the Nerazzurri often end up pursuing the same players on the market. One of the most recent cases involved Juan Cabal, who was said to be close to joining the San Siro outfit in the summer of 2024, only to arrive in Turin a few days later. ............

 

Despite their struggles this season, Verona have been enjoying the rise of Belghali, a 23-year-old full-back who joined the club in the summer. The Algerian has been able to fill the hole left by Jackson Tchatchoua’s sale to Wolves. ............

 

As the source explains, the Gialloblu spent just €2 million to sign Belghali in August, but his value is now estimated at €14 million. Hence, a sale would yield a major capital gain for the Serie A strugglers.

 

The report also adds that Juventus and Inter are both keeping tabs on the situation. However, it should be noted that the player has joined the Algerian national team for the African Cup of Nations, so he might not be available before late January.

 

While Inter have solid options on the right flank in Denzel Dumfries and Luis Henrique, Juventus are crying out for a new right-back, as Joao Mario hasn’t been able to convince Igor Tudor or Luciano Spalletti.

 

But while the Bianconeri will be expected to address this issue in January, the fans might fancy a more proven profile, like Atletico Madrid’s Nahuel Molina. ............

Juventus consider goalkeepers merry-go-round as Perin wants Genoa return

 

 

Juventus, Lazio, and Genoa could work a triple deal involving their goalkeepers, Mattia Perin, Christos Mandas, and Nicola Leali.

 

According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà, a merry-go-round involving all three Serie A clubs is a possibility in January, albeit it remains in its early stages.

 

As the transfer market explains, Mandas and Lazio are expected to part ways next month, as the 24-year-old is frustrated with his lack of playing time under Maurizio Sarri. ............

 

Pedullà reveals that Lazio are requesting at least €15 million to sell the 24-year-old, who has several suitors in Serie A, including Torino, Hellas Verona and Genoa.

 

Nevertheless, Juventus could be the favourite to land him, as they should be capable of meeting the Aquile’s asking price.

 

Moreover, the Bianconeri might need a new shot-stopper in January, as Perin is interested in a return to Genoa.

 

It has been reported in recent weeks that the Ligurians’ new manager, Daniele De Rossi, has requested the arrival of a new custodian, identifying his former national teammate as the ideal profile for the role. ............

 

Pedullà believes Juventus wouldn’t block Perin’s departure, but they will first want to secure a replacement before sanctioning the 33-year-old’s return to the Luigi Ferraris.

 

The journalist adds that the Bianconeri aren’t interested in a direct swap involving Nicola Leali, who was on their books between 2012 and 2018. Instead, the latter could end up filling in for Mandas at Lazio, freeing up the Greek, who would in turn join Juventus. ............

Alessandro Matri names one player who can transform Juventus

 

 

Although he has acknowledged clear improvements at Juventus in recent weeks, Alessandro Matri believes the team are still capable of reaching a higher level. The Bianconeri have looked far more organised and competitive since beginning their work under Luciano Spalletti, and performances have reflected a noticeable step forward. There is a growing sense that the team are moving in the right direction after a challenging period.

 

Spalletti is already proving to be an effective appointment, meeting the expectations many had when he was chosen. ............

 

Matri has followed Juventus closely throughout the season and has welcomed the improvement shown on the pitch. Recent results have been positive, and the team have demonstrated resilience and cohesion in several demanding matches. However, despite this progress, there remains an acceptance that the squad is not yet complete.

 

According to Matri, there are still gaps in quality within the current group. While effort and organisation have improved, certain areas lack the level required to compete consistently at the highest standard. These shortcomings, he suggests, could be addressed if Juventus are able to strengthen wisely in the transfer market. ............

 

Matri said, “The transfer market? To make the leap in quality, quality investments would be needed, and honestly, I don’t know if the club can afford them at this stage. Just to be clear, someone like Tonali would turn things around, but I don’t know if that’s feasible now.” ............

The players that Spalletti should replace if he stays next season

 

 

When a manager arrives at a club midway through a season, there is usually little opportunity to make significant changes to the squad they inherit. As a result, they must extract the best possible performances from the players already at their disposal. This has been the situation facing Luciano Spalletti since taking charge of Juventus, where he has focused on maximising results with the existing group. ............

 

Manuel Locatelli is one name that continues to raise questions. Spalletti has never been an admirer of the midfielder and rarely selected him for the Italy national team in the past. Despite currently wearing the captain’s armband at Juventus, Locatelli may not feature prominently in Spalletti’s plans once reinforcements become possible. A summer change in midfield leadership would not come as a surprise.

 

Jonathan David is another player whose position appears vulnerable. Even during periods when Dusan Vlahovic has been unavailable, David has struggled to convince Spalletti of his suitability. His performances have failed to align with the manager’s tactical preferences, and a move for a striker better suited to Spalletti’s style seems likely at the end of the campaign. ............

 

Joao Mario’s time at Juventus has been puzzling for many supporters. Since his arrival, he has been unable to establish himself or earn the trust of the manager. His limited impact suggests he could be among the first to be moved on when squad changes are permitted.

 

Dusan Vlahovic presents a different challenge. Spalletti would prefer to keep the striker, but with his contract nearing its end, Juventus may be forced to plan for life without him. Should he depart, the club will need to secure a world-class replacement to maintain attacking strength. ............

Why Juventus should wait until the summer to make signings

 

 

Juventus are among the clubs being tipped to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window, yet such a move may not necessarily be the right decision at this stage of the season. While there is an acceptance that the Bianconeri lack quality in certain areas of the squad, rushing into the market could ultimately prove counterproductive.

 

The club are keen to support Luciano Spalletti as he looks to guide the team through the second half of the campaign. ............

 

Over the past few months, Spalletti has worked closely with the players at his disposal and has gradually instilled his ideas. Juventus are now showing signs of improvement, with performances becoming more cohesive and consistent. The team are playing better football, and the manager has managed to extract strong displays from individuals who previously struggled for form.

 

This improvement suggests that the current group are beginning to fully understand what is being asked of them. Continuity can be vital during this phase, as players continue to adapt to tactical demands and build confidence within the system. Allowing Spalletti to keep refining this group may be the most sensible course of action. ............

 

While the temptation to invest in new players is understandable, January signings often face challenges. New arrivals require time to settle, both tactically and mentally, and may struggle to become influential before the season concludes. Introducing multiple players midway through a campaign can also upset the balance that has been carefully developed. ............
