Juventus has chosen New No 9

Juventus are already looking ahead to the January transfer window as they search for a new striker capable of solving their ongoing problems in front of goal.

The Bianconeri have struggled to turn chances into goals, prompting the club’s management to explore several options to strengthen the attacking department.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Juventus have identified four potential targets as they begin evaluating the market ahead of the winter transfer window.

The shortlist includes established international forwards as well as younger alternatives who could represent longer-term investments.

Sørloth and Balogun Lead Juventus’ Search

Alexander Sørloth remains Juventus’ primary target. The 1995-born Norwegian striker currently plays for Atlético Madrid and could become available on a loan deal in January.

Such an arrangement would potentially offer Juventus an opportunity to strengthen their attack without committing to an expensive permanent transfer immediately.

Another name high on the club’s radar is Folarin Balogun. The 2001-born forward plays for Monaco and represents the United States national team.

Juventus reportedly appreciate his qualities, but a move could prove more complicated because of the higher transfer fee likely to be required to secure his services.

Balogun’s profile offers a different option compared with Sørloth, although the financial demands could force Juventus to consider alternative solutions if negotiations become too difficult.

Raimondo and Retegui Also on the List

Beyond the two leading candidates, Juventus are also monitoring Antonio Raimondo, the 2004-born Bologna striker currently playing on loan at Frosinone.

He is considered a less prominent option, with a potential move more likely to be explored for the summer rather than January.

The fourth name is Mateo Retegui, the Italian-Argentine striker born in 1999 who remains part of the Italy national team’s picture.

His inclusion gives Juventus another experienced attacking option to evaluate as they assess the possibilities available on the market.

For now, Sørloth appears to be the leading candidate, while Balogun represents an attractive but potentially more expensive alternative.

Juventus will need to weigh their financial limitations against the urgent need for greater attacking efficiency as they prepare for a decisive second half of the season.
