Juventus focuses on goalkeeper and striker: defense reinforcement

According to Tuttomercatoweb.

Background

Tarik Muharemovic, a Bosnian defender, is on his way to Leeds United, allowing Juventus to strengthen his squad. The club is also interested in other players such as Jhon Lucumí, but the focus now is on improving the attack and goal, while defense comes later.

Why this matters

The impending sale of Tarik Muharemovic to Leeds United offers Juventus much-needed financial space in the transfer market. With approximately 20 million euros in income, the club can better position itself within the strict financial frameworks of the Settlement Agreement. This is crucial for the club, which has so far taken a wait-and-see approach in the summer transfer window.

Key points

  • Juventus focuses on goalkeeper and striker: defense reinforcement.
  • Juventus is preparing to sell Tarik Muharemovic to Leeds, giving the club financial breathing space.
  • Juventus, the next step is: excellent doorstep and action, Lucumì in standby.
Juventus appears to be increasing its margin on the transfer market due to the upcoming sale of Tarik Muharemovic to English Leeds United. Thanks to this transfer, in which a future resale percentage also plays a role, the club expects to collect approximately 20 million euros. This amount comes at an important time for the club management, which has to work within the financial limits imposed by the Settlement Agreement and has until now had to deal with a wait-and-see purchasing policy. Yet it is not the defense that is strengthened first. Despite continued interest in Bologna's Jhon Lucumí, Juventus have said a defensive signing is not an immediate priority. The club first wants to thin out the current defensive line-up. Names such as Juan Cabal, Federico Gatti, Pedro Felipe and Daniele Rugani are still in discussion for an exit. Only when steps have been taken in this regard and possibly when Lucumí's transfer fee decreases after the expiration of his buyout fee of 28 million euros, will Juventus definitively switch for the Colombian man. Image The immediate attention of the Juventus management is now mainly on attracting a new goalkeeper and a striker. For the striker position, Mateo Pellegrino remains in the picture as a concrete option. The club hopes to reach a final decision after the completion of the current World Championship. 'Dibu' Emiliano Martínez, currently active at Aston Villa, is the ideal candidate. His future at the English club is uncertain, with Juventus banking on the strong relationship between the two clubs to make a move possible. If this top transfer does not literally fall out of the sky, Guglielmo Vicario is seen as a reliable alternative. The experienced goalkeeper is highly regarded, partly because of his stability and experience. With the sale of Muharemovic, Juventus is preparing for a decisive phasethe transfer summer. The club balances between financial discipline and strengthening the selection, with clear priorities: first the closing post, then a striker and only later any defensive reinforcement. Supporters will continue to follow the club's management with interest, especially with the new Serie A season and European challenges ahead. Image

What's happening now

Juventus will now first focus on attracting a new goalkeeper and a striker, while strengthening the defense is not the priority for the time being. The club are considering Mateo Pellegrino for the attack and hope to make a decision on the goalkeeper after the World Cup. Only after clarifying the situation surrounding the current defenders can Juventus possibly look at Bologna's Jhon Lucumí again.
