Juventus are pursuing a new central defender, with Fikayo Tomori emerging as a primary target following Ronald Araujo’s impending contract renewal with Barcelona. The Bianconeri are looking to bolster their defence after facing challenges in the transfer market.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Tomori, currently with AC Milan, was previously favoured by Juventus as a potential addition to their backline. However, with Araujo’s situation becoming more stable at Barcelona, Juventus have shifted its focus back to the English defender. Despite Tomori expressing a desire to remain in Milan, Juventus is determined to convince him to make the move.
In addition to Tomori, Juventus are considering Kevin Danso from Lens as an alternative option. However, no official attempts have been made for Danso yet.
Meanwhile, Juventus are also awaiting an offer from Manchester City regarding Andrea Cambiaso. The English club is reportedly preparing a bid of €80 million for the talented left-back, which could significantly impact Juventus’ transfer strategy.
As the January transfer window progresses, Juventus are expected to make an official offer for Tomori. Reports suggest that they are prepared to propose a loan deal with an obligation to buy for a total of €25 million. This structure could be appealing to AC Milan, especially given their current financial considerations.
