Juventus has re-opened talks for Chiesa & Zirkzee

The deal for the Fenerbahce striker En-Nesyri has collapsed, and Juventus have already turned the page.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri are refocusing their attention on alternative attacking solutions, both on and off the pitch.

While the transfer market continues to evolve, the clearest answers have arrived directly from the field — and they have been convincing.

David and Yildiz Put the En-Nesyri Saga to Rest

“En-Nesyri who?” Jonathan David’s performance against Napoli provided the most effective response to the failed negotiations. The Canadian striker struck decisively, drawing a standing ovation from the Allianz Stadium crowd upon his substitution.

Shortly after, Kenan Yildiz sealed the 2–0 win while operating as a false nine, underlining the depth and flexibility within Juventus’ attacking options.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, these performances significantly eased the pressure on the club’s management, proving that the squad already has quality solutions capable of delivering immediately.

Beyond David and Yildiz, Weston McKennie’s tactical versatility also stood out, with the American even finishing the match in a highly advanced role.

Such adaptability helped Juventus quickly move past the En-Nesyri situation, which had caused frustration after the Moroccan striker backed out of the transfer at the last moment.

Sporting director Marco Ottolini returned to Turin without the player, who chose to remain in Istanbul after expressing doubts about the move and his long-term guarantees.

Market Focus Shifts to Zirkzee and Chiesa

With the Turkish track now closed, Juventus enter the final full week of the transfer window with renewed priorities. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that contacts have intensified again for Joshua Zirkzee, currently at Manchester United.

The Dutch forward is highly regarded in Turin for his tactical intelligence, physical presence, and ability to link play — qualities that align well with Juventus’ evolving attacking structure.

At the same time, the club is monitoring the situation of Federico Chiesa, who could be on his way out of Liverpool.

A potential return to Turin would carry strong emotional weight, but also clear technical value. Chiesa would bring pace, creativity, and goal-scoring threat — attributes that Juventus know well and continue to appreciate.

For now, Juventus remain alert but unhurried. The message from the pitch has been loud and clear: this squad has resources, confidence, and solutions already in place.

En-Nesyri belongs to the past, while Zirkzee and Chiesa are once again emerging as concrete possibilities. In this Juventus side, certainty is arriving even before the signatures.
