Despite starting the season with a win, Juventus coach Thiago Motta is still looking to bolster his offensive lineup with at least one new winger. According to Calciomercato, that number could double, if Federico Chiesa departs, with the Azzurri winger having attracted interest from Barcelona, with the Catalan club potentially ready to sell Ferran Torres, who is on Newcastle’s radar.
Transfer Targets
Nico Gonzalez: In the Italian market, Juventus is targeting Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez. Fiorentina is prepared to replace him with Sassuolo’s Berardi. Atalanta is also in the race for Gonzalez, particularly as their Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman is eyeing a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Francisco Conceição: Porto’s president, André Villas-Boas, has confirmed that the club is unwilling to let Conceição leave on a loan without an obligation to buy. The Portuguese player, son of former Porto coach Sergio Conceição, is keen on playing in Italy. However, he has resumed training with the team under new coach Vitor Bruno. Portuguese media reports suggest he might be called up for the upcoming home game against Rio Ave, potentially marking his first appearance this season after missing the first two league matches and the Super Cup victory against Sporting.
Jadon Sancho: Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli maintains interest in Jadon Sancho, despite Manchester United currently keeping him off the market. Giuntoli hopes the situation might change, especially since United’s manager Erik ten Hag didn’t even include Sancho on the bench for their Premier League opener against Fulham. Before the transfer window closes, United only has one more match scheduled against Brighton. Juventus remains vigilant, ready to seize any opportunity. However, they may face competition from Chelsea, who are also interested in Sancho and might be willing to part with Raheem Sterling.
