Genoa’s midfielder number one target for Comolli

Juventus is ramping up its transfer plans, and all eyes are turning toward Genoa. With the winter transfer window approaching, the Bianconeri have identified the ideal candidate to bring balance and dynamism to Luciano Spalletti’s midfield:Danish talent Morten Frendrup.

Born in 2001, Frendrup is viewed as the perfect blend of tactical intelligence and physicality, exactly what Juventus needs to complete a midfield that has been searching for both grit and creativity.

According to La Repubblica, Genoa’s firm stance from last summer appears to be softening. The Ligurian club is reportedly open to considering serious offers as early as January 2026, a development that has immediately caught Juventus’s attention.

This potential opening has put the Continassa headquarters on high alert as they prepare for a strategic approach.

Juventus Eyeing Smart Solutions, Morten Frendrup

Over the past 18 months, Juventus has closely monitored Frendrup’s exponential development. The 21-year-old is praised not only for his tireless ball-winning ability but also for his versatility, seamlessly contributing in both defensive and offensive phases—a key trait for Spalletti’s fluid style of play.

Genoa’s asking price is estimated between €25-30 million. Juventus sporting director Damien Comolli is reportedly exploring a creative solution: a structured loan with a conditional obligation to buy, possibly including a young player in exchange to reduce the immediate financial outlay.

Such an arrangement would allow the club to secure a high-potential talent without overextending in a single transfer window.

An added advantage is Frendrup’s familiarity with Italian football, which positions him ahead of foreign alternatives that would require longer adaptation periods.

For Juventus, this combination of readiness and skill makes him an attractive target to strengthen the spine of Spalletti’s squad, balancing defensive resilience with the tactical intelligence needed in top-level competition.
