Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Juventus is reportedly targeting Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko as a potential long-term transfer option for the summer of 2027. The Slovenian striker is being monitored as a tactical solution to provide physical presence and aerial dominance, especially given the uncertain future of current loanee Nick Woltemade. Following the departure of Dusan Vlahovic to Besiktas after failed contract extension negotiations, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti has commented on the former striker’s need to find “personal equilibrium and emotional stability.” The club continues to evaluate Sesko as a versatile attacking option despite high estimated valuation costs and competition from Barcelona. Recent reports indicate that Juventus has expanded its interest in Manchester United's roster, specifically targeting captain Bruno Fernandes. However, the Portuguese midfielder has reportedly indicated a desire to remain at his current club. Regarding the attacking line, Juventus continues to track Sesko as a likely replacement for Nick Woltemade, whose loan spell is considered unlikely to be made permanent. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-04: Juventus: Spalletti comments on Vlahovic as club eyes Sesko Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti addressed Dusan Vlahovic’s move to Besiktas, citing a need for emotional balance, while the club eyes Benjamin Sesko to bolster their attacking options. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/juventus-spalletti-comments-on-vlahovic-as-club-eyes-sesko ### 2026-10-02: Juventus and Napoli eye Manchester United players in transfer interest Juventus and Napoli are targeting Manchester United players, including Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Sesko, and Joshua Zirkzee, to bolster their attacking options in Serie A. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/juventus-targets-benjamin-sesko-for-future-transfer --- Cite as: Juventus squad rebuilding and transfer interests.
