Juventus are determined to do everything possible to turn their season around, with the January transfer window representing a crucial opportunity to strengthen the squad.
Giovanni Carnevali faces an important task: identifying the right reinforcements to meet Luciano Spalletti’s demands and improve the team’s competitiveness, particularly in the areas that have struggled most during the campaign.

According to Sportal Italia, the Bianconeri are evaluating several profiles across different positions, with 12 players emerging as potential targets ahead of the winter transfer window.
Five Options to Reinforce the Left Flank
Juventus are considering several alternatives to strengthen the left side of their defence, with both experienced players and younger prospects on the shortlist.
Mahamadou Nagida, the young Rennes full-back, is an interesting option for the future, while Marseille’s Emerson Palmieri remains another possibility.
The Italian-Brazilian defender has been linked with Juventus on several occasions over the years.
Nicolás Tagliafico is also a familiar name for the Bianconeri, with the Lyon defender potentially returning to their radar in January.
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig’s David Raum is attracting attention, particularly because his current contract expires in 2027.
Another intriguing possibility is Rayan Aït-Nouri. The Manchester City defender could offer a solution on the left flank, especially given his reported difficult situation with the English champions.
Seven Names Considered for Midfield and Attack
In midfield, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg remains an attractive target. The Marseille captain could bring valuable experience, physical presence and leadership to Spalletti’s midfield.
The attacking department is another priority, with Juventus considering several different options.
Jean-Philippe Mateta, currently at Crystal Palace, is a striker who has already been evaluated by the club’s management and could return to their plans.
Mauro Icardi represents a potentially interesting opportunity, particularly because of his previous relationship with Spalletti.
Another possibility is Antonio Raimondo, the young Frosinone striker owned by Bologna, although his recent injury has slowed interest from potential suitors.
Juventus are also keeping an eye on Mateo Retegui, now playing for Al-Qadsiah after his spells with Atalanta and the Italian national team.
Folarin Balogun is another name attracting attention. The Monaco striker, who impressed with the United States at the World Cup, has struggled for regular playing time in France and could consider a change of scenery.
Finally, Alexander Sørloth remains one of the most interesting attacking profiles. The Atletico Madrid forward has characteristics that particularly suit Spalletti’s football, making him an appealing option to strengthen the Bianconeri’s frontline.
With several positions requiring attention, Juventus have no shortage of possibilities. The challenge for Carnevali will be identifying which deals are financially realistic and which players can make an immediate difference to Spalletti’s team.
