Juventus are actively working on strengthening their attack for the upcoming season and are being linked with a move for another striker. The club’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, is exploring multiple options to address the goal-scoring issues from the previous campaign.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Nicolas Gonzalez of Fiorentina has emerged as a top target for Juventus. The club has initiated contact with Fiorentina and is aware of the player’s interest in a potential move. Gonzalez’s profile is being closely evaluated alongside other long-standing targets like Galeno from Porto and Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund.
To facilitate the Gonzalez deal, Juventus are considering including Weston McKennie as part of the transfer. Fiorentina have previously shown interest in the American midfielder, who could be valued between €10 to 15 million. However, any concrete discussions regarding Gonzalez will likely commence after he returns from his post-Copa America vacation on Monday.
In addition to pursuing a winger, Juventus isare also exploring options for a backup striker to support Dusan Vlahovic. Chelsea’s Armando Broja has caught the attention of Giuntoli. While Chelsea initially prefer a permanent transfer, they may become more flexible on the deal structure if no satisfactory offers arrive. Broja’s Albanian nationality could be advantageous for Juventus in terms of squad registration rules.
The club’s transfer strategy will prioritize securing a winger and resolving other key issues before finalizing plans for a backup striker. Juventus aim to significantly improve their attacking options to compete at the highest level in the upcoming season.
