Juventus market, the big reinforcement comes from'Atalanta

In all likelihood, Juventus will look to buy a new midfielder in the summer.Luciano Spalletti is convinced that a graft is needed in the central department and he reiterated this also in his latest talks with sporting director Marco Ottolini. The main target is Ederson from Atalanta and the Old Lady is already working to study an offer to convince La Dea to give up the Brazilian: the Bianconeri absolutely want to avoid other clubs interfering in the negotiations and will try to get a ‘yes’ as soon as possible.

Ederson, due to expire in 2027 with the Orobico club, had already asked the Percassi family in the summer to be sold but was not granted. In the summer, the farewell is inevitable: the Brazilian has no intention of renewing his contract and La Dea certainly will not want to lose him at zero parameter, which is why in a few months the champion will be put on the market. Juventus is seriously interested in him but will have to deal with some English clubs, which recently sent scouts to Bergamo to view Ederson closely.

English competition is a big problem for Juventus: Atalanta would prefer to sell Ederson abroad both to collect a higher sum and not to reinforce a rival. Ottolini, however, will do everything he can to please Luciano Spalletti: the coach from Certaldo had already sounded out the ground for Ederson when he was at the helm of Napoli but Atalanta&#8217s high demands had scuppered the negotiations. Now things are different and the Brazilian could join Manuel Locatelli and Khéphren Thuram to make up a stellar midfield.

Highly unlikely that Juventus will be able to pull off the Sandro Tonali coup: the midfielder would welcome a return to Italy but Newcastle&#8217s valuation exceeds 100 million euros and competition from Arsenal and Real Madrid makes the deal virtually impossible. Further raising the difficulty rate is the more than €9 million salary (including bonuses) that the former AC Milan player receives in England.

From the Premier League, on the other hand, could come Federico Chiesa who, despite assurances from coach Arne Slot, continues to play hiccups at Liverpool. The player wants to revive his career and knows that a return to Italy could be the ideal option: in addition to Juve, Napoli and Roma are also on his trail. He will need 25-30 million euros to sign him.
