Juventus are refusing to give up on their pursuit of Antonio Raimondo, the 2004-born striker owned by Bologna who is currently on loan at Frosinone. The Bianconeri are reportedly exploring a move to secure the young forward as early as the January transfer window.
According to TuttoJuve, Juventus are considering a deal that would see them sign Raimondo from Bologna in January before allowing him to remain at Frosinone on loan until the end of the season.
This strategy would enable the Turin giants to secure the striker’s services while allowing him to continue his development with regular playing time.

To make the operation possible, Juventus could be prepared to offer Bologna the services of Michele Di Gregorio as part of the deal.
Di Gregorio Could Be Offered to Bologna
Di Gregorio, 29, is currently on loan at Bournemouth in England but has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at the Premier League club. A return to Serie A in January could therefore be an attractive option for the former Monza goalkeeper.
A potential move to Bologna could be particularly appealing, as he would reunite with Raffaele Palladino, a coach who knows him well and could offer him an important role within the team.
For Juventus, including Di Gregorio in negotiations could provide a way to facilitate Raimondo’s arrival without relying solely on a straightforward transfer fee. Bologna, meanwhile, would have the opportunity to strengthen their goalkeeping department.
Talks Could Develop in the Coming Weeks
Although the proposed exchange remains a possibility rather than a completed agreement, the situation could develop over the coming weeks as Juventus continue to plan for January.
Raimondo is viewed as a young attacking prospect, and securing his future now could allow Juventus to get ahead of the competition while giving him additional time to gain experience at Frosinone.

Whether Bologna would be willing to accept Di Gregorio as part of the operation remains to be seen, but the proposal could become one to watch as the January transfer window approaches.
