Sørloth or Balogun! Carnevali has chosen

Juventus are already considering their options ahead of the January transfer window, with the club reportedly weighing up the possibility of signing another striker despite bringing in Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade during the summer.

According to Niccolò Ceccarini, a transfer market expert writing for TuttoMercatoWeb (TMW), the Bianconeri are assessing potential reinforcements for their attack as they look to strengthen the squad for the second half of the season.

Balogun Emerges as Juventus’ Preferred Target

One of the leading candidates is Monaco striker Folarin Balogun, who could become available during the winter transfer window if the French club receives a sufficiently significant offer.

Juventus would need to make a substantial financial commitment to secure the American forward’s services. Such a move would also require the Turin giants to bring forward an investment that had originally been planned for next summer.

However, Balogun is not the only name under consideration. According to Ceccarini, Alexander Sørloth is another serious option for Juventus, with Atlético Madrid potentially open to allowing the Norwegian striker to leave on loan.

Although Sørloth may be viewed as an alternative to Balogun, he would still represent an important attacking addition for the Bianconeri. The possibility of a loan could also offer Juventus greater flexibility as they evaluate their financial and sporting priorities.

Juventus Must React as Spalletti’s Future Remains Uncertain

While the January transfer market could provide Juventus with an opportunity to strengthen their squad, the club must first address its immediate problems on the pitch.

Ceccarini warns that Juventus need to respond quickly to avoid entering the new year too far away from the Champions League qualification places. The coming weeks could therefore prove crucial in determining the direction of the club’s season.

Meanwhile, attention is also turning towards Luciano Spalletti’s future in Turin. According to the TMW report, the next few hours could be particularly important in clarifying the situation surrounding the Juventus manager.

For now, Juventus have several issues to resolve before the January window opens. Balogun and Sørloth remain potential solutions in attack, but the club’s immediate results and Spalletti’s position could play a decisive role in shaping its next moves.
