Juventus are continuing their search for a new left-back ahead of the January transfer window, with several candidates under consideration as the club looks to address one of the squad’s key weaknesses.
According to transfer expert Niccolò Ceccarini, writing for Tuttomercatoweb, the Bianconeri are increasingly aware of the need to strengthen the left flank following an inconsistent start to the season.

The recent defeat against Genoa once again exposed several problems within Luciano Spalletti’s team, highlighting the importance of making the right adjustments during the winter transfer window.
Juventus’ management, led by Giovanni Carnevali and Ricky Massara, have already begun working on potential solutions.
Cambiaso’s Future Could Influence Juventus’ Plans
One factor that could influence the club’s strategy is the future of Andrea Cambiaso. Juventus are reportedly assessing his situation, and a tempting offer could potentially lead to his departure.
Regardless of what happens with the Italian international, the club are continuing to explore the market for alternatives, monitoring several European leagues in search of the right profile.
Three Names on Juventus’ Shortlist
According to Ceccarini, one option being considered in the Bundesliga is David Raum of RB Leipzig, who could represent an interesting opportunity for the Bianconeri.
Another name on Juventus’ radar is Tyrick Mitchell of Crystal Palace. The English defender has been closely monitored by the club, with the reports from scouts understood to be very positive.
However, one of the most recent names to attract significant technical approval is Mahmadou Nagida of Rennes.

The young full-back particularly impressed Juventus’ management during the Europa League encounter between the two sides in Turin last week, further strengthening his position among the club’s potential targets.
Juventus have yet to make a decisive move for any of these candidates, but the search is progressing. The Bianconeri are expected to narrow down their options in the coming weeks and identify the right profile to strengthen the left side of their defence in January.
