Juventus have identified midfield reinforcements as an absolute priority, considering the department a cornerstone of the technical vision being shaped around Luciano Spalletti’s ideas.
The aim is clear: add quality, intensity, and tactical intelligence to a sector that has often lacked balance and consistency. This plan could take shape as early as the January transfer window and, in a potentially sensational twist, may come at the expense of one of Juventus’ biggest domestic rivals.

According to TuttoJuve, the Bianconeri have significantly stepped up their interest in Davide Frattesi, the Italian midfielder currently on Inter’s books.
Born in 1999, Frattesi has emerged as one of the most dynamic and modern midfielders in Serie A, admired for his ability to combine physical strength, late runs into the box, and tactical discipline. Juventus see him as an ideal profile to raise the overall level of their midfield.
Juventus’ Strategy for Frattesi
Juventus’ management is reportedly working on a structured deal to make the operation financially sustainable. The proposed formula would involve an initial loan with an option to buy, which could later turn into an obligation to purchase if certain conditions are met.
These conditions would likely be linked to Frattesi’s number of appearances or to specific sporting objectives achieved by the club. This approach would allow Juventus to limit immediate spending while still positioning themselves strongly for a permanent acquisition.
At this stage, Inter remain firmly in control of the player’s future. The Nerazzurri value Frattesi highly and are in no rush to sell, especially to a direct rival. However, the player himself is not ruling out a move during the January window.

His openness to a potential transfer is reportedly driven by a desire for greater continuity and a more central role within a long-term technical project—something Juventus believe they can offer.
From a financial standpoint, Juventus are determined to maintain discipline. As highlighted by TuttoJuve, the club does not intend to exceed a valuation of €20 million for the midfielder.
This stance reflects a broader strategy aimed at rebuilding the squad with targeted investments rather than high-risk spending. If negotiations were to progress, this deal could become one of the most talked-about moves of the winter market.
Beyond the technical implications, a transfer from Inter to Juventus would carry strong symbolic weight, reigniting a historic rivalry. For now, talks are ongoing, and while the situation remains complex, Frattesi’s name is firmly on Juventus’ shortlist as they look to reshape their midfield for the present and the future.
