Juventus scouting mission: Giuntoli eyes Belgian talents in Rome

Start

Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is set to embark on a scouting mission to Rome for the Italy-Belgium match at the Stadio Olimpico. The game presents an opportunity for Giuntoli to closely observe several potential transfer targets, particularly from the Belgian national team.

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport (via IlBianconero), at least four players from the visiting Belgian squad have caught Juventus’ attention. The primary focus is on Lois Openda, the 24-year-old RB Leipzig striker. Known for his physical strength, versatility across the front line, and impressive speed and technique, Openda is coming off a stellar season with 28 goals. However, his recent move to Leipzig for €42 million suggests he would command a significant fee.

Another attacking option under consideration is Dodi Lukebakio of Sevilla. The 27-year-old, previously linked with Juventus, offers versatility as he can play as a striker, winger, or attacking midfielder. His pace, dribbling skills, and aerial ability make him an attractive prospect for Thiago Motta’s tactical setup.

In defence, while Milan Skriniar remains a target, Juventus is also exploring younger options. Two Belgian defenders have caught Giuntoli’s eye: Zeno Debast, a 20-year-old from Sporting Lisbon who can play as a center-back or full-back and possesses excellent ball-playing skills, and Wout Faes, the 27-year-old Leicester City defender.
