Juventus have their sights set increasing the quality and depth in the midfield department in order to keep up with the pace of high-flying Inter heading into the latter stages of the season.
Despite the off-field issues regarding Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli, the Bianconeri have managed to remain competitive in the 2023/24 Serie A campaign, as they currently possess 37 points and have suffered a single defeat in 16 games-played, finding themselves trailing the Nerazzurri by only one point.
However, Juventus are well aware that they are quite fragile in the central area of the pitch and that a signing in the winter transfer window is vital in order to continue their stride towards the scudetto.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Bianconeri are still keen on a potential loan deal for Mancheseter City midfield-outcast Kalvin Phillips after having monitored him for several months. Juventus also have Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners high on their short-list given his experience in the Italian league.
Whilst the two names above are considered the primary targets, Juventus also deem Shaktar’s Georgiy Sudakov, Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, and Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone as ideal alternative signings.
