Juventus’ winter transfer window continues to heat up as the club seeks to bolster its defensive lineup. With Portuguese defender Renato Veiga’s arrival from Chelsea on a loan deal worth 4.5 million euros, the Bianconeri have secured their third signing of the month. However, Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus’ sporting director, is not content to stop there.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Turin giants are actively pursuing another defender to complete their roster. While Lloyd Kelly of Newcastle United and Kevin Danso of Lens remain on the radar, a familiar name has resurfaced in recent days: Jean-Clair Todibo. The West Ham defender, who was a target for Juventus last summer, has once again piqued the club’s interest. Additionally, Empoli’s Leo Goglichidze has emerged as a potential option.
Veiga’s journey to Turin began yesterday as he landed at Caselle airport. Today, the 21-year-old is set to undergo medical examinations and put pen to paper on his contract. This loan deal, which includes the player’s salary, represents a significant investment in young talent for Juventus.
The Old Lady’s winter acquisitions also include right-back Alberto Costa, signed permanently from Vitoria Guimaraes, and striker Randal Kolo Muani, who joined on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. These moves demonstrate Juventus’ commitment to strengthening key areas of the squad.
On the outgoing front, Marseille have renewed its interest in midfielder Nicolò Fagioli. The French club is keen on a loan deal, but Juventus prefers a permanent transfer to generate funds. Negotiations are ongoing, and developments are expected in the coming days.
Meanwhile, anticipation builds for Manchester City’s imminent bid for Andrea Cambiaso. The English champions are reportedly preparing a substantial offer for the versatile Italian, which could further reshape Juventus’ transfer strategy and budget for the remainder of the window.
