Juventus are slowly working themselves back into the title race this season. This has the club has turned the corner from their poor form at the start. This has mainly been due to the coaching change with Luciano Spalletti replacing Igor Tudor at the start of November.

One of the problems that Tudor team’s had was goalscoring, especially with two of Juventus strikers in poor forms. Lois Openda and Jonathan David, where the two new strikers that struggled for life in Turin. However, there form has changed ever since Spalletti has come in.

The two of them have scored six goals in the two months, Spalletti has been in the job. While this number sounds low, the two also had very little confidence and very little idea how to work in Spalletti’s system. Yet reports are still stating that Juventus are looking for a striker in January or the summer.

This is because of the looming departure of Dusan Vlahovic, his contract is expiring at the end of this season. His contract expires at the end of the season with Juventus and his next destination is likely AC Milan. This is according to reports from Alfredo Pedulla, which states that Milan have held their interest since September, and Barcelona have dropped out of the race.

This has lead to Juventus looking for options to replace Vlahovic, if he is to leave Juventus. Currently they only have one main name on their list, french striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Mateta has been in phenomenal form for the last twelve months leading Crystal Palace to a FA Cup win.

Juventus are getting confident in a signing for Mateta, the french striker is open to a move. This come from reports from Nico Schira, which states that told Juventus he is ready to sign for them. Mateta has also said that he is interested in a four year deal at Juventus.

It doesn’t stop there for Juventus have they have made an offer to Crystal Palace, this is according to Gianluca Di Marzio which have Juventus offering a package of around 40 million euros to sign Mateta. This will be close to Palace’s valuation of Mateta but the high price could make Juventus push the deal until the summer.

Salah has been a consistent starter through out his time in Liverpool, leaving them big shoes to fill to in replacing him.

This has lead to Liverpool looking for other names they can use as their overall attack especially with Salah gone. This has lead them to Juventus winger, Francisco Conceicao according to reports from RMC Sport. Liverpool like Conceicao because he is a younger, quick paced name which can spark their attack.

However, the deal will be hard for Liverpool to complete as Juventus see this as an opportunity to make some money off the sale. This comes from a report from TuttoSport which states that Juventus want to make 15 million euros on the sale of Conciecao compared to their initial fee.

Conceicao cost, Juventus 37 million when they signed him over the loan, and the buy option. This means that if Coneciao was to be sold to Liverpool it would likely cost them 50-60 million euros in this summer, which could make the deal off putting. Conceicao has also played down then rumours himself.

Conceicao said to reporters when asked on a move to Liverpool “I know there are rumours about a big club, but I’m already at a big club and I’m happy”. While this could be just a typical PR response it won’t help Liverpools chances to sign him this summer.

Both could already be on their way out as, Juventus want to find support for Vlahovic in attack. According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Jonathan David could be included in a swap deal to bring in another striker to Turin. This would see David make a move to Paris Saint Germain for next season.

PSG, lead football advisor, Luis Campos was crucial in Lille signing David back in 2020. Campos could look to bring David with him once again for PSG. He could do so by giving up Randal Kolo Muani who has been a target for Juventus as a striker. Luciano Spalletti is on board with signing Kolo Muani to build an attack for Juventus.

Inter Milan have been one of Italy’s and Europe’s best attacks so far this season. So far this season they have scored 65 goals in the league through 29 games. This puts Inter comfortably first in the category compared to the rest of the league. The second closest team, Juventus sits on only 51 goals.

While Lautaro Martinez, clear world class talent has been helpful, there has been other reasons. Pio Esposito and Ange Yoan Bonny have both become key rotational names for Inter throughout this season. The youngsters have given Chivu new possibilities for his attack this season.

This has left Inter trying to decide who will lead their attack into next season. Marcus Thuram name has therefore come up in the rumours multiple times as there is no guarantee he stays. He has been linked to other European clubs, including FC Barcelona multiple times this season.

However, their has still been issues with these teams, as affording Thuram is an issue. Inter Milan won’t let him leave for cheap, and it could even take Thuram’s 85 million euros release clause to see him leave Milan this summer. This could be an issue as top European teams would likely not be willing to spend this.

However, TuttoSport are now reporting that there is a different side that would. They are reporting that a side in the Saudi Pro League could decide to make a bid for Thuram. Many of Saudi’s top sides are back by rich owners who would be willing to invest the money to sign Thuram, which a European club wouldn’t. This could be the ket factor in seeing the deal get done if it is to happen this summer.
