With just 12 days remaining in the transfer window, Juventus find themeselves in a race against time to finalize several crucial moves. Manager Thiago Motta has expressed confidence in the club’s ability to build a competitive squad, but significant work remains for sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and his team.
Key Transfer Targets
Teun Koopmeiners remains the top priority for Juventus’ midfield. While personal terms were reportedly agreed months ago, Atalanta’s €60 million valuation has proven a stumbling block. The player’s recent absence from Atalanta’s squad has further complicated negotiations.
In defence, Pierre Kalulu of AC Milan has emerged as a target after failed pursuits of Riccardo Calafiori and Jean-Clair Todibo. However, talks with Milan have stalled over the structure of the deal, with Atalanta also showing interest.
For the attack, Nico Gonzalez of Fiorentina is a prime candidate to bolster the wing positions. His omission from Fiorentina’s Serie A squad list suggests a potential move, though Atalanta’s interest poses a challenge here as well.
Outgoing Players
Federico Chiesa’s situation remains unresolved, with Motta confirming the player is not in his plans. As the window closes, the risk of losing Chiesa on a free transfer next summer grows.
Other players potentially on the way out include:
– Tiago Djalò: Linked with Roma and Porto after failing to establish himself at Juventus
– Mattia De Sciglio: In his final contract year, with Monza interested
– Arthur: A return to Fiorentina on loan is possible
– Fabio Miretti: Seeking more playing time, with Genoa showing interest
– Hans Nicolussi Caviglia: Close to joining Venezia for around €5 million
