Fiorentina player has been offered to Juventus

Luciano Spalletti has made his intentions crystal clear for his new Juventus project: he wants a true creative force in midfield, a player capable of unlocking games with vision, imagination, and the kind of decisive final pass that can elevate the Bianconeri’s attacking unit.

In other words, a classic “number 10” who can operate between the lines and consistently feed the forwards with intelligent through balls.

According to Tuttosport, as Juventus continue to explore options after encountering difficulties in their pursuit of Brahim Díaz, a new name has emerged in the conversation: Albert Gudmundsson.

The Icelandic playmaker, currently on the radar of several clubs, has reportedly been proposed to the Turin giants by intermediaries, presenting himself as a possible alternative for the attacking midfield role.

Gudmundsson option and internal doubts at Juventus

Gudmundsson, who is expected to leave Fiorentina, could be available on a structured deal involving an initial loan with a conditional obligation to buy, potentially in the region of €15–18 million.

From a financial standpoint, the operation is considered feasible and relatively sustainable for Juventus’ current planning. However, despite the opportunity, Tuttosport reports that the idea does not fully convince Spalletti at this stage.

The coach is believed to be pushing for a more established profile—an out-and-out “Juventus-style 10” with proven international experience and a stronger creative impact at the highest level.

Adding an extra layer of intrigue, there is also past tension to consider: in one of the final matches of the season between Juventus and Fiorentina, Spalletti and Gudmundsson were involved in a heated exchange on the touchline, with strong words reportedly exchanged.

While not decisive on its own, it contributes to the complexity of the evaluation.

For now, the Icelandic playmaker remains an option rather than a priority, as Juventus continue to search for the ideal figure to embody Spalletti’s vision of a more inventive and incisive attacking midfield line, as reported by Tuttosport.
