Juventus are already laying the groundwork for a potentially decisive summer in the transfer market, with several high-profile names under consideration as the club looks to return to Europe’s elite.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Bianconeri have recently made an exploratory approach for Darwin Núñez, currently at Al Hilal.

The Uruguayan striker, who joined from Liverpool FC last summer, endured a mixed debut season in the Saudi Pro League. Núñez recorded six goals and four assists in 16 league appearances, adding three goals and one assist in the AFC Champions League.
While those numbers show flashes of his attacking instinct, they also reflect a campaign that fell short of expectations for a player of his caliber.
Juventus Target Experience and Quality
Beyond the attacking line, Juventus are casting a wide net across Europe’s top leagues in search of proven quality. One of the primary defensive targets is Marcos Senesi of AFC Bournemouth.
The Argentine defender has been a consistent performer in the Premier League, registering 30 appearances and four assists this season. His composure and tactical awareness make him an attractive option as Juventus aim to strengthen their backline.
In midfield, attention has turned to Leon Goretzka, a key figure at Bayern Munich. Known for his versatility and physical presence, Goretzka continues to be one of Europe’s most reliable midfielders.
This season, he contributed two goals and two assists across 38 matches, underlining his consistency at the highest level.

Bernardo Silva and the Champions League Factor
Another ambitious target is Bernardo Silva of Manchester City. Now in his ninth season with the English champions, Silva brings a rare blend of technical brilliance, vision, and experience.
However, securing his signature will not be straightforward, as multiple top clubs are expected to compete for the Portuguese playmaker, potentially driving up both interest and cost.
Much of Juventus’ transfer strategy will ultimately depend on their qualification for the UEFA Champions League. Participation in Europe’s premier competition would not only boost the club’s financial power but also make Turin a more attractive destination for elite players.
As the summer window approaches, Juventus appear determined to rebuild with ambition—targeting established names capable of immediately elevating the squad and restoring the club’s competitive edge on both domestic and European stages.
