Juventus’ Transfer Revolution Has STARTED

Ten signings may not be enough for Juventus, with the Bianconeri potentially making as many as 13 additions by January. However, the impact of the new capital increase announced by John Elkann is likely to be felt most significantly during the summer transfer window.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are already looking both at the immediate future — with Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg among the names being considered — and at the longer-term objective of returning to the Champions League and competing again at the highest level.

The club is also preparing for further changes to Luciano Spalletti’s squad following a summer revolution that saw ten new players arrive between June, July, August and September.

The last-minute return of goalkeeper Neto, brought in to replace Kamil Grabara after his injury, was the final piece of an eventful transfer campaign that also saw injuries affect Kenan Yıldız, Khéphren Thuram and captain Manuel Locatelli.

With several months still to go before January, plenty can change. For now, however, Juventus are hoping to give Spalletti another midfielder, preferably a proven leader capable of helping compensate for Locatelli’s absence.

Højbjerg has once again emerged on Juventus’ radar. The 31-year-old Dane is a long-standing target and offers a combination of leadership and international experience.

Marseille are reportedly no longer considering any player completely untouchable, while Juventus could have sufficient appeal to convince Højbjerg to make the move. Fiorentina are also said to be monitoring the midfielder.

The departure of Teun Koopmeiners could make a move for the former Tottenham player considerably easier. Another option is 18-year-old Sassuolo midfielder Bakola, a player highly regarded by Juventus chief executive Giovanni Carnevali and previously associated with Marseille.

Should Juan Cabal leave, Juventus could make another attempt in January to sign Algerian left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri on loan. The defender has found himself on the fringes of the Manchester City squad under Enzo Maresca.

Juventus are also keeping a close eye on young goalkeepers. Among the players attracting attention is Lorenzo Palmisani, who has impressed with both Frosinone and Italy’s Under-21 side.

Summer Focus: A New Striker and High-Profile Targets

The pursuit of a new striker is expected to resume in the summer. A permanent deal for Nick Woltemade could prove difficult, with the German forward currently on a straight loan after Newcastle paid more than €70 million for him in the 2025-26 season.

Over the coming months, Juventus will continue monitoring Benjamin Šeško at Manchester United and Florian Balogun at Monaco.

Both the Slovenian striker and the American forward have made relatively slow starts to their respective campaigns.

Another name on the list is Brian Brobbey, who has scored three goals in five Premier League appearances for Sunderland.

Juventus sent a representative to Amsterdam last week to watch him in person against Germany, although the assessment lasted only 35 minutes because of an injury.

The trip to the Netherlands also gave Juventus an opportunity to receive an update on the physical condition of 35-year-old Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, whose contract expires in June.

The list of high-profile players potentially available on favourable terms is already extensive.

Juventus are monitoring, among others, Mateo Kovačić of Manchester City, Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United, David Raum of RB Leipzig and Fikayo Tomori of Milan.
