Juventus‘ summer transfer strategy is entering a decisive stage as the club carefully evaluates multiple scenarios before making its next move.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri are adopting a flexible approach, with their plans closely tied to developments in both the attacking department and the full-back positions.
One of the names still high on Juventus’ shortlist is Alexander Sørloth, although any concrete move will depend on how several transfer situations involving Europe’s top clubs unfold.
Atletico Madrid Could Hold the Key
Juventus remain on high alert regarding Sørloth’s future, with the Norwegian striker viewed as an ideal attacking option by head coach Luciano Spalletti.
However, sporting director Giovanni Carnevali is prepared to wait before making a decisive move. The club wants to assess how the situation develops at Atletico Madrid, whose transfer activity could have a major impact on Juventus’ plans.

A potential return of Nico Gonzalez to the Spanish capital is being closely monitored, as such a deal could trigger a domino effect in the market and ultimately pave the way for Juventus to launch an approach for Sørloth.
Ruggeri Identified as Cambiaso Replacement
At the same time, Juventus are preparing for the possibility of losing Andrea Cambiaso this summer.
The Italian full-back continues to attract significant interest, and should an irresistible offer arrive, the club would be willing to consider his departure.
To avoid being caught off guard, Juventus have already identified Matteo Ruggeri as a leading candidate to strengthen the left flank.
The versatile wing-back is admired for his consistency and attacking qualities, but securing his signature will be far from straightforward.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, both Roma and Fiorentina are also pushing to sign Ruggeri, setting up what could become a three-way battle for the defender.

Carnevali is therefore expected to remain patient, ready to accelerate Juventus’ plans once the first pieces of the transfer market begin to fall into place.
