Juventus remain fully focused on strengthening two key positions before the new season, with a new goalkeeper and a prolific striker at the top of their transfer agenda.
According to Calciomercato, Aston Villa’s Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez and Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani continue to be the Bianconeri’s primary targets.

Although both players are reportedly open to joining Juventus, negotiations with Aston Villa and PSG have yet to reach a breakthrough.
New CEO Giovanni Carnevali is refusing to give up, however, and the club is expected to submit improved offers for both stars in the coming days while simultaneously keeping alternative options alive.
Suzuki and Pellegrino Remain in the Picture
One of those alternatives is Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, whose name has resurfaced during Juventus’ ongoing discussions with the Emilia-Romagna club over striker Mateo Pellegrino.
Carnevali and Parma CEO Federico Cherubini were both present at Thursday’s Serie A League Assembly, with the meeting providing another opportunity for informal talks.
Juventus are reportedly preparing a deal for Pellegrino based on a paid loan with an obligation to buy if the club qualifies for European competition.
The total package would be worth no more than €25 million, while Parma continue to demand at least €30 million for the Argentine striker, as well as a similar valuation for Suzuki.

Lucumí Still a Defensive Priority
Another interesting moment at the League Assembly involved Carnevali and Bologna CEO Claudio Fenucci, who were seen exchanging smiles and a brief conversation after the meeting.
According to Calciomercato, the discussion may have included Jhon Lucumí, who remains one of Juventus’ leading defensive targets this summer.
With negotiations continuing on multiple fronts, Juventus are determined to reinforce every area of Luciano Spalletti’s squad.
While Martinez and Kolo Muani remain the club’s dream signings, Suzuki, Pellegrino, and Lucumí continue to feature prominently on the Bianconeri’s shortlist as the summer transfer window enters a decisive phase.
