Juventus are keeping a close eye on Tottenham Hotspur full-back Djed Spence as they continue planning for the upcoming summer transfer window.
The English defender has emerged as a potential target for the Bianconeri, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of next season.

According to reports from Giovanni Albanese, the right flank is one of Juventus’ priority areas as the club prepares for an important rebuilding phase.
The club’s transfer strategy will largely depend on qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season. Securing a place in Europe’s top competition would significantly increase the club’s financial flexibility and allow them to pursue more ambitious signings.
Within that framework, Spence has been identified as a profile that fits Juventus’ vision: a young, dynamic full-back capable of contributing both defensively and offensively.
Juventus Monitoring Spence for the Right Flank
The 23-year-old defender currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur and has attracted attention thanks to his athleticism, pace, and ability to cover the entire right side of the pitch.
Juventus are believed to appreciate his versatility and physical profile, qualities that could make him a valuable addition to their squad. Despite the growing interest, discussions between the two clubs have not yet officially begun.

However, relations between Juventus and Tottenham are considered very positive, which could help facilitate negotiations if the Italian giants decide to move forward.
For now, Spence remains a name being closely monitored by the club’s scouting and management teams as they evaluate options for the summer.
Contract Situation and Alternative Options
One factor that could complicate a potential deal is Spence’s contract situation. The defender signed a contract extension with Tottenham last summer that runs until 2029, giving the Premier League side strong negotiating leverage.
Because of this, any transfer would likely require a significant financial commitment from Juventus. Reports suggest that Tottenham could demand a fee in the region of €30 million to part ways with the player.
Such an investment would be considerable, especially as Juventus continue to manage their budget carefully while restructuring the squad.

For this reason, the Bianconeri are also exploring alternative solutions for the right-back position. One name already on their radar is Zeki Çelik of AS Roma.
Unlike Spence, the Turkish defender could become available on a free transfer when his contract expires, making him a financially attractive option.
As Juventus prepare for a crucial summer, the club’s final decision may ultimately depend on both their sporting objectives and financial opportunities in the transfer market.
