Juventus is actively pursuing key player acquisitions as they aim to strengthen their squad. The Bianconeri are seeking assistance from PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to facilitate a deal for defender Milan Skriniar. Additionally, they are rekindling interest in Napoli’s Giacomo Raspadori for the January transfer window, hoping to enhance their attacking options. With Raspadori eager for more playing time, this potential move could benefit all parties involved. However, negotiations may prove complex due to his importance to Napoli and the rivalry between the clubs.
Juventus Seeks Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s Help for Defender
Juventus intends to acquire Milan Skriniar in January to replace Gleison Bremer.
Skriniar is not receiving consistent playing time at PSG and has voiced his frustration about the limited opportunities.
The defender is regarded as one of Europe’s best and had a successful tenure in Serie A with Inter Milan.
His experience should make a return to the league easy, and Juve is eager to finalize the transfer.
The Bianconeri can only target Skriniar for a short-term loan until the season ends, but they cannot afford his full €9 million salary.
For the deal to be successful, PSG would need to cover a significant portion of Skriniar’s wages, highlighting the crucial role that Nasser Al-Khelaifi plays in these negotiations. According to Il Bianconero, the Bianconeri will rely on the support of the PSG president to secure favorable terms for the transfer, which is essential for both clubs to reach an agreement.
With Juventus recently rejoining the European Club Association (ECA), they are feeling optimistic about their chances. This renewed relationship could facilitate discussions with Al-Khelaifi, who has the influence to help make the transfer happen. Juventus is hopeful that, with his assistance, they can navigate the financial complexities and ultimately bring Skriniar to their squad, enhancing their defensive options for the season ahead.
Juventus Revives Interest in Napoli’s Raspadori for January
Juventus is said to be renewing their interest in Giacomo Raspadori, the 24-year-old striker from Napoli and the Italian national team, as they aim to improve their offensive during the January transfer window. Reports from Calciomercato indicate that although Raspadori has not formally asked for a transfer from Napoli, he is eager for more playing time to keep his spot on the national team.
The Turin giants are contemplating an offer that could give Raspadori greater playing time, as their current attacking lineup features Dusan Vlahovic as the only primary striker, with Arkadiusz Milik out due to a long-term injury. Juventus’ proposed offer is said to be a loan deal with an obligation to buy, dependent on specific conditions being fulfilled.
This isn’t the first time Juventus has expressed interest in Raspadori. Toward the end of the summer transfer window, the Bianconeri made initial inquiries about him. Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, is especially fond of Raspadori, having played a key role in his move to Napoli from Sassuolo in 2022 for a loan fee of 5 million euros, which included a mandatory purchase clause of 25 million euros.
Since joining Napoli, Raspadori has played 86 matches and scored 12 goals, contributing to the squad that won the Serie A title in 2023. His versatility and potential make him an appealing option for Juventus as they aim to expand their attacking choices and compete for trophies this season.
The possible transfer could be advantageous for everyone involved, as Raspadori would receive more playing time, Juventus would enhance their squad, and Napoli might recover their investment. However, negotiations are expected to be complicated due to Raspadori’s significance to Napoli and the rivalry between the two clubs.
