Right-back position, three names on the shortlist

Juventus continue to work relentlessly on the transfer market in search of reinforcements for the wide areas, a priority that has become increasingly urgent with the congested schedule awaiting the team in the second half of the season.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri are carefully evaluating several profiles capable of providing quality depth on the flanks and offering reliable rotation options for Luciano Spalletti.

The objective is clear: add energy, athleticism, and tactical flexibility to cope with domestic and European commitments. Juventus’ sporting management is therefore keeping multiple options open, balancing technical needs with financial sustainability.

Norton-Cuffy Emerges as a Concrete Option

One of the names gaining momentum in recent hours is Brooke Norton-Cuffy. The English full-back, currently playing for Genoa, has impressed Juventus scouts with his physical strength, pace, and ability to cover the entire flank.

His dynamism and intensity fit well with the demands of modern football, making him an attractive solution for a squad in need of fresh legs.

Norton-Cuffy represents a relatively accessible option and could arrive without excessive financial strain, a factor that works in his favor.

However, he is far from the only candidate under consideration. Juventus are also monitoring the Spanish market closely, where two interesting opportunities have emerged.

Spanish Alternatives: Mingueza and Juanlu

Among the most intriguing profiles is Óscar Mingueza of Celta Vigo. The versatile defender, born in 1999, stands out not only for his technical qualities but also for his contractual situation.

With his deal approaching expiration, Mingueza could represent a valuable market opportunity.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus had already been close to signing him in recent weeks, and that interest has never fully faded. A renewed push cannot be ruled out, especially if negotiations accelerate.

Another name on Juventus’ shortlist is Juanlu Sánchez of Sevilla. Considered a high-potential talent with international prospects, the young Spaniard is highly rated by the club’s scouting department.

However, Sevilla’s firm stance complicates matters: they are only open to a permanent transfer or a deal including guaranteed redemption clauses, rejecting any simple loan arrangement. This condition clashes with Juventus’ cautious financial strategy.

Ultimately, the club must decide whether to invest immediately or opt for more affordable solutions. The coming days will be decisive as Juventus weigh ambition against sustainability in shaping their squad for the challenges ahead.
