Juventus are considering a move for Bologna left-back Juan Miranda as they prepare for the January 2027 transfer window, with Luciano Spalletti reportedly keen to strengthen the position.

According to Tuttosport, the 26-year-old Spaniard has emerged as one of the names on Juventus’ shortlist, although the Bianconeri are also considering postponing their move until next summer.

Miranda’s Impressive Numbers Attract Juventus

Miranda has attracted considerable attention thanks to his attacking contribution from the left flank. According to Opta, he has made 10 Serie A appearances this season, providing five assists – numbers that underline his importance to Bologna’s attacking play.

Spalletti is looking for a left-back capable of pushing forward, creating opportunities and offering additional solutions in possession. Miranda’s qualities make him an attractive option for the Juventus manager.

The former Real Betis defender joined Bologna on a free transfer in the summer of 2024 after coming through Barcelona’s youth academy. His current market value stands at around €15 million, according to Transfermarkt, and his contract runs until June 2028.

Bologna Face Competition From Juventus, Milan and Newcastle

Juventus are not alone in monitoring the Spaniard’s situation. Newcastle United and AC Milan are also reportedly keeping tabs on him, with the Rossoneri having previously considered signing him before he moved to Bologna.

Bologna, meanwhile, are keen to protect their investment and have already opened discussions with Miranda’s representatives over a possible contract extension. However, an agreement has yet to be reached.

This situation could work in Juventus’ favour. According to Tuttosport, the Turin giants are evaluating whether to accelerate negotiations in January 2027 to avoid competition from other interested clubs.

Much will depend on Bologna’s renewal talks and Juventus’ transfer strategy. If an agreement cannot be reached, next summer could represent an important opportunity for the Bianconeri to secure Spalletti’s desired reinforcement.
