Juventus market, two renewals in the balance: there is the "new Lukaku" in the Bianconeri alternative plan
It is now just over thirty days until the start of the winter market and there are those who, like Juventus, are not only thinking about possible reinforcements but also about expiring contracts to be renewed. Specifically, there are two agreements in the balance: the one with Dusan Vlahovic and the one with Kenan Yildiz.
The situation therefore also conditions the incoming market: in addition to the already known interest in Joshua Zirkzee, an alternative solution, linked to one of the rising stars of European soccer, René Mitongo, is increasingly making its way.
The two situations related to renewals, however, are different: the most urgent one is related to the Serbian center forward, who, as per regulations, as early as next January 1, could pre-agree for a zero-parameter move to another club in the summer, since his deal expires at the conclusion of this season.
As far as the Turkish player is concerned, on the other hand, the time to reason about it is definitely longer, given that the agreement that currently binds the two parties expires in 2029, but the same does not shelter Juventus from even important requests, especially from rich Premier League clubs: in particular, Arsenal would seem to be ready to make madness to grab the former Bayern player to reinforce a squad that is already a protagonist both in its own league and in the Champions League.
There is no doubt, then, that at the Continassa they are reasoning about an alternative plan should both players leave: while refreshed by Openda’s first ever goal in bianconero and David’s first European goal in the icy away match in Bodo, the Old Lady is ready to further investigate the Zirkzee issue, who is now oriented to return to Italy given the difficulties at Manchester United.
Reasoning prospectively, however, the Bianconeri are reportedly interested in 17-year-old René Mitongo, a 187-centimeter center forward under contract with Standard Liege, whom they consider the new Lukaku in Belgium. On the player, however, as reported by local media, there would also be the interest of AC Milan: a bidding war is possible as early as the next market session.
