Juventus is preparing to reset the offensive department: all the strikers currently available to Luciano Spalletti could leave Turin for good in a month’s time. For Jonathan David and Lois Openda the situation now seems clear: both will leave Italy in the summer.

The Canadian striker, valued at 25 million euros, has been approached in recent weeks by Premier League clubs (including Aston Villa), Turkish clubs and French clubs, including Marseille and Olympique Lyon. In recent days, Manchester United has also reportedly inquired about the North American forward, who has greatly disappointed under La Mole. For Lois Openda the season has been even worse: the Belgian national has lost his place in the national team and will not go to the World Cup. On him is Leeds, ready to make a bid. Bournemouth and Coventry would also be interested, although Juve is unlikely to avoid a capital loss.

The situation of Vlahovic is more entangled: the future of the Serbian striker, whose contract expires on June 30, remains in strong doubt and a separation is not ruled out even if negotiations for renewal continue. Among the clubs following him would be Bayern Munich. Juventus is thus evaluating possible replacements: Randal Kolo Muani remains a hot name around Turin, and there will be a meeting with Paris Saint Germain soon to begin possible negotiations for an outright transfer. The French striker disappointed at Tottenham and is counting on relaunching himself in Italy.

Robert Lewandowski has just made his farewell to Barcelona official: he, too, is a name that has long been approached by Juventus. Despite the Arab sirens, he may opt to stay in Europe and the Bianconeri are among the possible options. Finally, there is Mateta, freshly called up for the World Cup in North America with France: on the Crystal Palace player there would still be AC Milan, which in January was one step away from signing him.
