Juventus will dive into the wingers’ market after selling two of their own, Federico Chiesa and Matias Soulé, and Thiago Motta appreciates two Porto players in particular, Galeno and Pepe. On the other hand, they are quite expensive, Alfredo Pedullà informs.
The former has a €60M release clause. There’s some room to negotiate his valuation a little, but not too much. Instead, his teammate is worth around €30M. The coach likes him for his versatility and work rate as he has also starred as a fullback in a pinch.
Juventus have also been linked to Francisco Conceiçao on top of Galeno and Pepe. They’ll add one or two more specialists after the exits, but none of the rumored targets are close to joining.
Jadon Sancho has resumed training with Manchester United but is still on his way out. He could transfer on loan again, but the fee to eventually purchase him would be massive. The Bianconeri could only take a late-window flier on him if he doesn’t find a new home beforehand.
Our Take on Juventus, Galeno, and Pepe
They are eyeing quality but pricey players, and they won’t have much to spend if they sign Teun Koopmeiners. Perhaps they’ll pivot at some point because splurging on him would prevent them from making multiple offensive additions, which they might need. Acquiring Albert Gudmundsson would be a nice way to bounce back. While likely, their departures aren’t certain yet, and the chain of events will only start after. They have already backtracked a few times if no team matched their requests.
