Juventus market, desperate hunt for cheap bomber: but there's a big suggestion

The injury of Dusan Vlahovic puts Juventus with its back to the wall: the albeit highly criticized Serbian bomber was the most reliable striker Luciano Spalletti had at his disposal, who suddenly finds himself without firepower going forward. The disappointing Lois Openda and Jonathan David (in the odor of a January farewell) do not offer the necessary guarantees, and Kenan Yildiz cannot suffice: the bianconeri will have to think about how to act in the winter market to reinforce themselves. The priority therefore shifts from the midfield to the’attack, and the Piedmontese club executives are looking for a solution at the’height to fill the gap.

Martino Davidi

Among the names on the purchase list is that of Parma striker Mateo Pellegrino, already in the sights of AC Milan. The player&#8217s card is valued at around 15 million euros and the Ducali are unlikely to give discounts. The Argentine footballer, born in 2001, has already scored 7 goals between league and cups and is constantly followed by the Bianconeri, who could soon attempt a more direct approach. Several profiles are being followed abroad by Juventus: above all there&#8217s Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, who could leave the Red Devils in January after a negative first part of the season.

The former Bologna man is far behind in the hierarchies of Ruben Amorim, who considers him only a reserve and has deployed him just twice as a starter this season, out of seven games played. Also in the crosshairs of Roma, the Belgian striker is interested in a possible return to Italy, also in view of the 2026 World Cup, which he definitely does not want to miss. The player could arrive only on loan with right or obligation of redemption, as well as Niclas Fullkrug. The German striker is also in great difficulty at West Ham and is contemplating a possible farewell to the Premier League.

The big suggestion comes from Saudi Arabia: former Liverpool player Darwin Nunez is reportedly unhappy with his experience in the Saudi League and is leaning toward returning to Europe, even on loan, in the next 6 months. According to the Olé newspaper, the player is looking around in search of accommodation and Juventus could be an option, given that he&#8217s already tried unsuccessfully last summer. The problem remains the salary, absolutely out of the reach of the bianconeri. Meanwhile, in the Coppa Italia Spalletti will try the first solutions without Vlahovic: against Udinese the David-Openda pairing will be revived.
