Juventus is making significant moves in the transfer market. They are considering the possibility of signing an Olympic silver medalist while ramping up their efforts to acquire Teun Koopmeiners with two strategic maneuvers. In addition, the club is considering extending the contract of standout defender Federico Gatti, reflecting their commitment to strengthening and maintaining key players within the squad.
Juventus is weighing the possibility of signing an Olympic silver medalist
Juventus is staying busy in the transfer market and may finalize several crucial deals in the window’s final days.
The Bianconeri have been successful in this transfer window and aim to wrap up their activity by adding at least one more forward.
The Bianconeri have made solid moves this transfer window and are set to finalize their plans by acquiring at least one additional attacker.
Tuttomercatoweb reports that Juventus is now contemplating a transfer for Arnaud Kalimuendo of Rennes.
The 22-year-old forward, who helped France’s U23 team secure silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics, had already attracted interest from top European clubs before the tournament. His performances have now drawn Juventus’ attention.
The report indicates that the Bianconeri are seriously interested in acquiring Kalimuendo and may make a move for him shortly.
Thiago Motta, known for his focus on nurturing young talent, would be excited to work with Kalimuendo, who could also be a backup to Dusan Vlahovic.
Kalimuendo might be thrilled to join Khephren Thuram at the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus ramped up their pursuit of Koopmeiners with two key moves
Juventus is stepping up their efforts to sign Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta, using two new strategies to target the Dutch midfielder. Meanwhile, Koopmeiners’ actions are straining his relationship with Atalanta as the transfer drama unfolds.
Calciomercato reports a major development occurred when Koopmeiners missed a team lunch at Atalanta’s training center in Zingonia. His absence, alongside Ademola Lookman’s, caught the attention of his teammates, many of whom were recently his locker room peers. This move indicates a growing rift between the player and the club.
In a second strategic move, Koopmeiners has reiterated his request for Atalanta to negotiate with Juventus to speed up his transfer to Turin. This appeal comes despite manager Gian Piero Gasperini‘s apparent attempt to mend fences, which the player seems to have disregarded.
Atalanta, however, remains resolute in their position. Frustrated by Koopmeiners’ actions and how the situation has developed, the club is in a protracted standoff. They appear ready to extend this standoff until the final day of the transfer window unless Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, makes a compelling offer.
As time goes on, the player’s patience is diminishing. Koopmeiners persists in seeking an exit, having provided a third medical certificate stating “stress” as the reason for his continued absence from training.
The situation is now up to Juventus. With Atalanta holding their ground, it remains to be seen if the Turin giants will escalate their efforts and meet the asking price to secure Koopmeiners’ move to the Allianz Stadium before the transfer window closes.
Juventus is contemplating an extension for their standout defender
Juventus extended Federico Gatti’s contract less than a year ago, and now the defender is set for another extension.
Some fans and pundits initially thought Gatti might have trouble adjusting to Thiago Motta’s dynamic new system. However, he seems to have impressed his manager in training and even captained the team in their match against Como.
The defender is anticipated to stay crucial to the squad in the upcoming weeks, and a new contract is reportedly in the works.
In October, Gatti signed a contract extending to 2028, reflecting the club’s trust in him. Now, he is poised for yet another extension.
Tuttomercatoweb reports that Juventus is considering extending his contract by an extra season after turning down transfer offers for him this summer.
Gatti is very content in Turin and is prepared to sign the new deal.
