Juventus has already forgotten about Youssef En-Nesyri. The Fenerbahce striker has taken too much time and the Old Lady has decided to let go. “The situation is quite simple. We went to talk to the boy who expressed doubts about the formula. For us, at this moment, it is a closed negotiation, we do not want and cannot buy outright. We will see in the coming days if there will be opportunities, we will remain vigilant, but for us I repeat that it is a closed negotiation”, the explanation of Giorgio Chiellini, Bianconeri executive, to Sky Sport.

At this point, it is clear that the Bianconeri club will try to explore other options. In particular, there would be two new tracks, assuming there are the conditions to engage in negotiations. One leads to Federico Chiesa, the other to Joshua Zirkzee. The former has been approached by Juventus on several occasions. Currently on the fringes of the project at Liverpool, the Italian would like to return to Italy, perhaps to Juventus where he did well (at least before he had several physical problems).

Then there is the Joshua Zirkzee opportunity. Roma dealt with him for a long time but, in the end, preferred to focus on other profiles. Milan had also thought about it before deciding to take home Niclas Fullkrug. The former Bologna striker could be very useful to Luciano Spalletti, given his great ability to play with teammates. However, there is the question of whether Manchester United is willing to let him go on loan. Juventus is unlikely to aim for an outright purchase.

As mentioned, Juventus could also decide to keep the current squad, at least as far as the attack is concerned. Luciano Spalletti, refreshed by the victory over Napoli, praised the players, confirming that he believes in them.

In particular, applause for Weston McKennie who, according to Luciano Spalletti, can also do very well in the offensive phase. A real wild card who could also save the club from investing in this difficult winter market.
