Juventus have been attached to a host of midfielders ahead of the January window, but their ideas for the position are clear and eliminate some of the options that have circulated lately. They want to onboard an offensive-minded player that would replace the creativity they lost due to Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli’s suspensions, Fabrizio Romano reports (via SOSFanta).
Kalvin Philips has been mentioned as a potential target in England. He’ll leave Manchester City in January and wouldn’t mind transferring to Turin, but he has different traits. The same goes for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. He recently changed agent. Tottenham are unlikely to let him go on loan. He’s not atop the Old Lady’s wish list contrary to reports.
Juventus are scouring the market for a midfielder who would bring goals and assists. In the meantime, Douglas Costa blatantly offered himself to the Bianconeri, but they have other priorities. He’ll fly to Saudi Arabia to find a team.
At this stage, there’s not much traction concerning his potential third spell in Turin.
Our Take on the Juventus Midfield
All signs point to Lazar Samardzic, as they should be able to cook up a favorable formula with Udinese. It might hinge on where the Zebrette are in the standings, but they are reasonably deep in the midfield following the return of Roberto Pereyra and with Martin Payero furnishing serviceable performances.
