Juventus accelerates summer signings, Spalletti eyes midfield upgrades

Juventus, under new coach Luciano Spalletti, is intensifying its summer transfer activity. The club has set a July 13 deadline to secure at least two new players, prioritising midfield reinforcements such as Stanislav Lobotka from Napoli—who Napoli is reluctant to sell and values at €30‑35 million—and a possible deal for Franck Kessié. In attack, Juventus is advancing talks with Paris Saint‑Germain for a loan‑with‑option move for Randal Kolo Muani, while Emiliano Martínez is targeted as the goalkeeper of choice. To fund the arrivals, the board plans to offload players, notably João Mario and Teun Koopmeiners, and is considering using a sale of Adrien Thuram to free a roster slot and generate resources. Negotiations are ongoing, with the club aiming to finalize the squad before the pre‑season camp, ensuring Spalletti has a competitive roster for the upcoming season.
