Juventus are considering one final attacking addition before the summer transfer window closes, with the club looking to further strengthen Luciano Spalletti’s options after bringing Randal Kolo Muani back to Turin.
However, there is one important condition that must be met before the Bianconeri can move for another striker: Jonathan David must leave the club.

According to SportMediaset, Juventus have already identified three possible targets who could potentially complete Spalletti’s attacking department.
The club’s financial strategy remains clear, though: any new arrival must come under favorable conditions, with loans and swap deals being considered ahead of expensive permanent transfers.
Zirkzee Remains Juventus’ Top Choice
The name at the top of the list continues to be Joshua Zirkzee, the 2001-born Dutch striker currently at Manchester United. Juventus have maintained an interest in the former Bologna forward, who is particularly appreciated by sporting director Carnevali.
Manchester United would reportedly be open to letting Zirkzee leave, creating an opportunity for Juventus to explore a loan deal with an option to buy.
Such an agreement would fit perfectly with the Bianconeri’s current approach, allowing them to strengthen the squad without immediately committing to another major investment.
Zirkzee’s profile is also considered attractive because of his technical qualities and ability to link up with teammates, giving Spalletti another type of attacking option.

The other two names on Juventus’ radar are currently less concrete but remain possibilities. One is Alexander Sørloth, the powerful 1995-born striker who plays for Atletico Madrid and represents Norway. His physical presence and experience could offer a different solution in the final third.
The third option is Jean-Philippe Mateta, the 1997-born Crystal Palace and France international striker. Like Sørloth, however, a move would depend heavily on the financial conditions involved.
For both players, Juventus would prefer to avoid a significant transfer fee. The club could therefore explore loan arrangements or potential player exchanges, rather than committing to an expensive permanent deal.
With Kolo Muani already secured, Juventus’ priority is not simply to add another striker, but to find the right opportunity. If David departs, the Bianconeri could accelerate their search, with Zirkzee currently standing out as the most concrete and appealing option.
