Juventus are continuing to work on several areas of the squad, and their transfer plans are not limited to the centre of the pitch. The left flank has also become a priority, with Hugo Bueno emerging as a potential solution for the Bianconeri.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are still looking for an alternative to Andrea Cambiaso, particularly with the possible departure of Juan Cabal. The latest name to attract attention is Bueno, the Spanish wing-back currently owned by Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Hugo Bueno Emerges as a Juventus Option
Bueno has already gained valuable experience in the Premier League, and his tactical versatility is one of the qualities that could make him particularly attractive to Luciano Spalletti.
The 24-year-old can operate as a traditional full-back in a four-man defence, but he is also capable of playing higher up the pitch as a wing-back.

That flexibility could prove important for Juventus as Spalletti looks to build a squad capable of adapting to different tactical situations.
Bueno offers pace, attacking runs, overlapping ability and an aggressive approach, while still having considerable room for development.
The Spanish defender is not yet a completely finished product, but Juventus could see an opportunity to help him take the next step in his career. His characteristics could fit a system in which the wide players are heavily involved in both the build-up and the attacking phase.
Compared with more expensive options such as Álvaro Carreras and Rayan Aït-Nouri, Bueno could represent a more financially sustainable operation.
Juventus must carefully manage their limited resources, with further investment potentially required in midfield, on the wings and possibly in attack.
Juventus Could Push for a Loan Deal
The preferred formula could once again be a loan, potentially including an option to buy at the end of the season. Much will depend on Wolverhampton’s plans for the player and the role they intend to give him during the upcoming campaign.
Bueno would not necessarily represent a headline-grabbing signing, but he could be a highly practical addition to Spalletti’s squad.
His arrival would provide Juventus with greater depth on the left, allow Cambiaso to be managed more carefully throughout a demanding season and give the coach another natural option for changing shape.

For Juventus, the appeal of Bueno could therefore lie precisely in the balance between versatility, potential and affordability — three factors that are increasingly important as the club looks to complete its squad without exceeding its financial limits.
La Gazzetta dello Sport’s report highlights the Spaniard as another name now being considered as Juventus continue to assess the market for a new solution on the left flank.
