As Juventus continues to navigate the world of football transfers, their focus is not limited to just one target.
They are carefully evaluating three potential zero-parameter signings, with particular emphasis on strengthening their defense following the imminent departure of Alex Sandro, who himself will be available as a free agent. This situation opens up financial possibilities.
While their primary target seems to be Piotr Zielinski, with the hopes of securing his services should the contract negotiation with Napoli remain unresolved, Juventus is equally attentive to their defensive options.
This need arises from the impending departure of Alex Sandro, who will soon be available on a free transfer and, consequently, presents wage flexibility.
Juventus currently has three central defenders under scrutiny at their Continassa training ground. However, the club has a specific requirement for a left-footed defender.
This necessity puts Juventus in competition with several Italian clubs, particularly Inter and Milan, who are also vying for potential acquisitions, as reported by Nicola. Balice.
1. Tiago Djaló – Lille
A serious injury must be factored into this evaluation, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. Milan, in particular, is keen to secure this signing in January to gain an edge over competitors, a move that Inter is also considering.
Juventus, however, is equally interested in the 23-year-old Portuguese defender, who possesses the versatility to play various roles in defense.
2. Mario Hermoso – Atletico Madrid
In the previous summer transfer window, Juventus had already explored the possibility of signing this player, as Alex Sandro’s departure was on the horizon.
Although the mission was deferred for a season, Hermoso, who currently plays for Bournemouth, is drawing closer to the end of his contract. This situation has prompted Juventus to revive their interest.
Hermoso has garnered attention due to his remarkable consistency and solid performances.
3. Lloyd Kelly – AFC Bournemouth
Both Milan and Juventus have expressed interest in the left-footed defender, creating a shared objective that requires prompt action.
His existing contract with the club runs until June 2024, and he holds a market value of 18 million euros, a figure well within the budget of Italian teams.
The coming transfer window promises to be an exciting one for Juventus, who aim to secure the right reinforcements to fortify their squad.
