Juventus Shopping Two Midfielders in the Premier League

Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli took advantage of the trip to England to conduct some business. The Bianconeri are sending out feelers to gauge the interest in Nicolò Fagioli and Douglas Luiz, who could be sold under the right circumstances to build the budget for a pair of January additions, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

The official reached Manchester on Sunday already and made another detour from Birmingham on Tuesday. The Old Lady would consider bids of €20/25M for the Italian midfielder. He and Samuel Mbangula are the only home-grown assets they could sell without hurting the team too much since they aren’t fixtures.

Juventus might be open to partying ways with Douglas Luiz already. However, he was valued at €50M in the swap with Aston Villa. The offer would have to be really large to limit the damage, which is difficult given how poorly his season has gone so far. Another trade is possible.

The Old Lady is keen on Joshua Zirkzee, but he’s not an easy target for January, the publication adds. They’ll either acquire two defenders or a center-back and a striker depending on Arkadiusz Milik and the opportunities that may arise. They could make a move for Evan Ferguson if Brighton agreed to loan him out, The Daily Telegraph informed.

Our Take on Juventus, Douglas Luiz, and Fagioli

A departure would be stunning in both cases, but they don’t have many avenues to raise funds, and their other midfielders are going strong. They would need a big stroke of luck not to record a major loss on the former. It might be better to just be patient.
