Juventus have six players on radar for a possible move in January
Juventus de Turin wants to replace some of their players who are ready to leave the club in the next season, but also to reinforce the squad.
There are six players are in Juventus’s radar like Tielemans of Leicester, Smalling of As Roma, Evan Ndicka of Eintracht Frankfurt, Raphael Guerreiro of BVB, Grimaldo from Benfica and Marcus Thuram of Borussia Monchengladbach.
Juventus and Inter Milan are the two clubs set to vie to convince the Englishman Smalling to reject a contract extension at the Stadio Olimpico [Roma] at the end of the season.
Smalling’s current deal runs out in June and he has the option to extend for a further year, with Roma keen to retain him, but Inter have been joined in the race by the Bianconeri.

Meanwhile, a lengthy pursuit of Borussia Monchengladbach forward Thuram is also under threat from Turin, although it is reported that the most significant risk of missing out on the France international comes from Bayern Munich.
Youri Tielemans (Leicester City)
Tielemans has been one of the finest midfielders in Europe, and he would certainly join a Champions League club when he leaves Leicester City.
If we are serious about making him a member of our team, we must be prepared to offer more than other clubs will offer him.
He may have decided on his next club already, and the lure of playing in Serie A has to be very exciting for him to choose us.
The Belgian is one of the accomplished midfielders in the Premier League, and reports have linked him with a move to the top clubs around Europe.
Evan Ndicka (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Evan Ndicka has emerged as Juventus’ main transfer target for their defence this season and the Frenchman is continuing to prove he will be a good buy.
Juve has lost some fine defenders recently, with Matthijs de Ligt and Giorgio Chiellini leaving the club.
The Bianconeri reinforced their group with Gleison Bremer, who has been a good buy, but they still want Ndicka.
The Eintracht Frankfurt man would be out of contract at the end of this season and has interest from several clubs.
Raphael Guerreiro (Borussia Dortmund)
Borussia Dortmund’s Raphael Guerreiro is of great interest at Juventus. The board of directors believe that the Portuguese could replace Alex Sandro in the next summer transfer window, given that both players are out of contract at the end of the season.
