Tottenham Hotspur reportedly sent a scout to keep an eye on Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu and Fiorentina midfielder Nicolo Fagioli.

The two rivals clashed heads at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday in what was a must-win match for the Bianconeri to maintain their advantage in the Champions League race.

But unfortunately for Luciano Spalletti’s men, they suffered a shocking 0-2 defeat that left them on the brink of missing out on a Top Four finish after falling to sixth place in the table with one round remaining.

Spurs interested in Pierre Kalulu, but Juventus will renew his contract

According to Tuttosport, a Spurs delegate was in the stands at the Allianz to watch two players in action.

The North Londoners have recruited several players from Serie A in recent years, especially when Fabio Paratici was at the club. Interestingly, some of them had played for Juventus, including Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski.

But as the source explains, Tottenham are unlikely to succeed in their mission this time, as the Bianconeri have no desire to part ways with Kalulu.

The Frenchman had also attracted interest from Manchester United, prompting the management to accelerate contract talks with the defender’s entourage.

Therefore, Spurs have arrived too late, as Kalulu is now expected to sign a new contract until June 2030, which will also include a pay rise from his current €2.4 million to €3.8-€4 million net per season, thus closing the door on all Premier League suitors.

Fiorentina set their price for Nicolo Fagioli

On the other hand, Tottenham have significantly higher chances of landing Fagioli, even though Fiorentina will only entertain offers starting from €30 million.

This would guarantee the Tuscans a comprehensive windfall, as the midfielder had only cost him a total of €16 million between the loan fee they paid in January and his purchase last summer.

The 25-year-old is a Juventus youth product who had his big breakthrough with the first team in 2022. However, Thiago Motta reduced him to a benchwarmer during the 2024/25 season, which prompted his transfer to Fiorentina, who now consider him an integral player.

Juventus are reportedly hoping to kill two birds with one stone by swapping Michele Di Gregorio for Tottenham Hotspur left-back Destiny Udogie.

The Bianconeri are planning a change between the posts, as Luciano Spalletti hasn’t been convinced by the former Monza custodian.

The 67-year-old dropped Di Gregorio from his starting lineup earlier this year, only to resort to his services when Mattia Perin picked up an injury against Bologna.

The 28-year-old put on a few solid displays, but on Sunday, he was easily beaten at his near post by Hellas Verona striker Kieron Bowie, raising further questions regarding his future in Turin.

Juventus gunning for swap deal with Spurs

Juventus have already identified Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker as their top choice ahead of the summer transfer market, with Fiorentina’s David De Gea suggested as a fallback option.

Nevertheless, the Serie A giants must also offload Di Gregorio to make room for a new arrival.

According to AS Roma Live, Juventus are still considering a swap deal with Spurs involving Di Gregorio and Udogie.

The North Londoners are expected to part ways with their current No.1, Guglielmo Vicario, who is tipped to replace Yann Sommer at Inter.

Therefore, Roberto De Zerbi will need a new custodian, and he might be tempted to work with his compatriot, Di Gregorio.

Why Juventus continue to follow Destiny Udogie

The Bianconeri have been keeping tabs on Udogie since his early days in Serie A, when he made his big breakthrough at Udinese.

The 23-year-old established himself as a regular feature for Spurs, and already earned 12 international caps for the Azzurri.

However, the Verona native has been enduring a complicated campaign, between injuries and Tottenham’s well-documented struggles in the league table. He made 25 appearances across all competitions, contributing with a single assist.

So while Udogie remains tied to last season’s Europa League winners with a contract until 2030, the two parties might be open to parting ways.

The Bianconeri certainly need reinforcement on the left flank this summer, as Filip Kostic will leave once his contract expires, and Juan Cabal could be placed on the market. Even Andrea Cambiaso could be sacrificed should an enticing offer arrive.

In addition to Udogie, the source mentions Atalanta’s Lorenzo Bernasconi and Fiorentina’s Niccolo Fortini as alternative options for Juventus. The two young Italians are also closely monitored by Roma.

Juventus reportedly have some unwanted company in the race for Randal Kolo Muani, with Liverpool said to be interested in the unsettled striker.

The 27-year-old still has fond memories of his brief time in Turin between January and June 2025, where he cemented himself as a regular starter for Thiago Motta and then Igor Tudor.

However, the Bianconeri weren’t able to reach a new agreement with Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, so the attacker ended up joining Tottenham Hotspur on loan for the 2025/26 season.

Juventus keen to bring back Randal Kolo Muani

Whether Spurs survive the drop or not, Kolo Muani isn’t expected to linger in North London beyond the current campaign. He will return to PSG, who will once again place him on the transfer list.

In recent months, the Frenchman has been heavily linked with a return to Juventus, who have recently remedied their relationship with the reigning European champions, thus setting the stage for a positive discussion in the summer.

With his contract expiring in June 2028, Kolo Muani’s book value has reportedly dropped to just over €30 million, making him more affordable for Juventus compared to last summer.

And yet, bringing the striker back may not necessarily be a straightforward task for Juventus CEO Damien Comolli, who could face competition from one of his former employers.

Liverpool linked with Kolo Muani

According to Calciomercato.it, Liverpool are pondering a move for Kolo Muani ahead of the upcoming summer transfer campaign.

The Reds are preparing to part ways with Mohamed Salah, whose departure has already been announced. Moreover, Hugo Ekitike has suffered a serious injury that will rule him out of the World Cup, and he could also miss the start of next season.

Therefore, the Merseyside club will need some attacking reinforcement, and the versatile Kolo Muani can add depth and quality to this department.

Juventus have make significant progress in their attempts to sign Randal Kolo Muani, but they still have one major hurdle to overcome.

The Bianconeri left it late in the winter transfer window, but they’re currently finalising several options. Jeremie Boga has arrived in Turin to complete a loan move from OGC Nice, and he was preceded by Bayern Munich teenager Adin Licina.

Damien Comolli and Marco Ottolini are also trying to recruit Emil Holm from Bologna to bolster their full-back department, but they’re also keen to add a new striker to their ranks.

Juventus receive PSG’s blessing for Randal Kolo Muani

Over the past few days, Juventus have identified Kolo Muani as their main target after giving up on Jean-Philippe Mateta and Youssef En-Nesyri.

The French striker is all in favour of a return to Continassa. After all, he had enjoyed a positive six-month loan spell in Turin last season, unlike his current experience at Tottenham Hotspur, characterised by the lack of goals and inconsistent displays.

According to Tutosport via IlBianconero, Juventus have received the green light from Kolo Muani’s parent club, Paris Saint-Germain.

The two clubs failed to reach an agreement last summer, which prompted the Bianconeri to sign Lois Openda instead, while Kolo Muani headed to Spurs.

Nevertheless, the reigning European champions had no objections to the 27-year-old’s return to Turin.

Thomas Frank insists he wants to keep Kolo Muani at Spurs

While Juventus already have agreements in principle with the player and PSG, the final step is to convince Spurs to terminate the striker’s loan stint in the middle of the season.

However, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank showed no signs of leaning his stance in his latest press conference.

“Yes, next question,” said the Danish head coach when asked if he intends to keep Kolo Muani in North London.

“I hope this goal and his performance in the Champions League (against Eintracht Frankfurt) can give him the confidence to build on because I think I’ve always liked his qualities and abilities.”

Juventus have less than 36 hours to find a breakthrough in this transfer saga that could go down to the wire.

With a striker merry-go-round in full swing, Juventus have received a boost in their attempts to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Tottenham Hotspur.

The French centre-forward already played for the Bianconeri between January and June 2025, but the Bianconeri couldn’t reach an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to keep him on a permanent basis last summer.

The 27-year-old ended up joining Spurs on loan. But aside from his occasional Champions League heroics, his time in North London has been underwhelming thus far.

Juventus hellbent on bringing back Randal Kolo Muani

While Kolo Muani is said to be open to making a return to Turin, Juventus are now hoping to convince Tottenham to relinquish the player, and must also strike an agreement with PSG.

Luckily for the Bianconeri, a domino effect taking place in the Premier League could lend them a hand.

On Thursday, it was reported that Crystal Palace have secured the services of Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen for €50 million.

This operation could pave the way for Jean-Philippe Mateta’s departure. Juventus were keen to sign the French bomber, but they weren’t able to meet the Eagles’ asking price. Nevertheless, Tottenham is one of the leading candidates in the race for Mateta.

Mateta to Spurs would push Kolo Muani to Juventus

According to Italian journalist Orazio Accomando (via TuttoJuve), if the North Londoners succeed in signing the Crystal Palace man, they will be willing to send Kolo Muani to Turin.

Moreover, Sky Sport Italia (via TuttoJuve) insist that convincing Spurs to part ways with the former Eintracht Frankfurt striker remains the biggest obstacle for Juventus, who are already aware of PSG’s requests.

Therefore, it remains to be seen if the EPL merry-go-round will culminate with Kolo Muani’s return to Continassa.

The French international made 22 appearances during his time with the Bianconeri, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists.

Juventus are reportedly working on bringing Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin back to Turin.

The Bianconeri poached the Romanian when he was still at the tender age of 16. The centre-back swiftly rose through the club’s ranks, and became one of the first Juventus Next Gen products to appear with the first team.

The 23-year-old then had brief loan spells at Sampdoria and Salernitana before signing for Genoa in the summer of 2022.

Juventus consider re-signing Spurs defender Radu Dragusin

After establishing himself as a key figure at the back for the Grifone, Dragusin attracted the interest of Tottenham, who splashed €25 million to secure his signature in January 2024.

Sadly for the young defender, his time in North London has been marred by injuries. He has been out of action since January after rupturing his ACL, although he has recently returned to the squad.

Interestingly, Italian journalist Enzo Bucchioni claims that Juventus are hoping to bring the Romanian international back to the club.

“Spalletti wants a right-back and a midfielder, but a central defender would also be useful. This is the complete list,” wrote the transfer market expert in his editorial on TuttoMercatoWeb.

Dragusin open to Juventus return?

Bucchioni identifies Inter’s Davide Frattesi as the main midfield target, while young Genoa man Brooke Norton-Cuffy would be the ideal signing for the right wing-back role.

But if the club decides to pursue a defender in January, then it could well be Dragusin, who’s said to be open to the move.

“The new Juventus director (Marco Ottolini) is trying to reunite with one of his former players, namely Dragusin, who was sold to Tottenham.

“The player has given the green light, and the deal is underway,” claims the journalist.

Interestingly, it wasn’t so long that Juventus signed a young defender recovering from an ACL injury in the middle of the season, but the outcome was far from satisfying.

Although he only arrived in July, Juventus might be willing to part ways with Jonathan David as early as January.

The Canadian was initially considered one of the most sought-after free agents ahead of the previous summer, but the Bianconeri found little competition in the race for his signature, as other suitors didn’t formalise their interest in a concrete offer.

The 25-year-old arrived in Turin with a solid reputation, having established himself as one of the deadliest bombers in Ligue 1 during his five-year spell at LOSC Lille. However, he has been struggling to replicate his exploits on Italian soil.

Jonathan David could depart in January amidst Spurs interest

David scored the opener on his Serie A debut against Parma, but hasn’t found the back of the net ever since.

While Igor Tudor had often entrusted him with a starting role, Luciano Spalletti was quick to change the attacking hierarchy, reconfirming Dusan Vlahovic as Juve’s main striker.

In recent days, reports suggested that Canada’s all-time top goal-scorer might not even finish his maiden campaign at Juventus, especially amidst interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich.

Calciomercato has now added more weight to these rumours, insisting that David’s mid-season departure cannot be ruled out.

Juventus prefer to keep Vlahovic over David until the end of the season

As the source explains, Spalletti currently deems the Brooklyn native a mere backup option who can add energy in the closing stages of the match.

The report reckons that Vlahovic’s future is equally uncertain due to his expiring contract.

However, if one striker is to leave in January, then David remains the more likely option, as the Serbian is tipped to dwell at least until June, before leaving the club as a free agent, that is, unless he ends up renewing his contract.

Therefore, the Canadian’s situation is one to keep an eye on between now and January.

Juventus are reportedly willing to part ways with Jonathan David as early as January, which could represent an opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur.

The 25-year-old was expected to be one of the hottest commodities on the market last summer after seeing out his contract with LOSC Lille.

The Canadian had established himself as one of the deadliest strikers in Ligue 1 over the past few years. But despite being linked with a host of European giants, Juve was the only club to step forward at the moment of truth.

Juventus put Jonathan David on the transfer list already?

David had a decent pre-season and then managed to score on his official debut against Parma. But while hopeful Juventus fans considered a sign of great things to come, the centre-forward hasn’t found the back of the net ever since.

Canada’s all-time top goal-scorer started in most fixtures under Igor Tudor, but Dusan Vlahovic has apparently regained his berth in the lineup under Luciano Spalletti.

According to Sky Sport Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Juventus have already placed David on the market.

The transfer market expert claims that Tottenham and Bayern Munich have already enquired about his services.

The Bavarian giants have Nicolas Jackson on loan until the end of the season, but it remains to be seen if they purchase his contract from Chelsea in June.

Why Spurs are considering Jonathan David

As for Spurs, their attacking department has been struggling to produce goals this season, despite the presence of several centre-forwards like Richarlison, Mathys Tel, Dominic Solanke, and former Juventus man, Randal Kolo Muani.

Thomas Frank’s side currently sits fifth in the Premier League table, but many feel their position would have been higher had they brought in a consistent goal-getter.

But whether David would be deemed the right profile to end the North Londoners’ attacking woes remains uncertain.

For their part, Juventus would register considerable capital gains by selling David, since they signed him on a free transfer in July.

Juventus are closely following the development of Matias Siltanen, who is considered one of the hottest prospects to come out of Finland.

The Bianconeri have been able to poach some of the finest young talents in Europe over the past few years, including the likes of Kenan Yildiz, Vasilije Adzic, and Dean Huijsen.

The club’s scouts are continuously on the lookout for mesmerising wonderkids, and they have now set their sights on a young man who has been taking Sweden by storm.

Juventus set sights on Matias Siltanen

According to Tuttosport via JuventusNews24, the Serie A giants have entered the fray for Siltanen, a central midfielder who has been making waves in Scandinavia.

The young Finn was born in Kuopio, and he began his career with his hometown club, KuPS. He managed to burn the stages and became a member of the first team in 2023, before earning a move to Swedish giants Djurgårdens IF last January.

Siltanen has already established himself as a pillar at the club, making 27 appearances across all competitions, and contributing with three goals.

The youngster has been praised for his technical abilities, playmaking skills, and strong character that goes beyond his tender age.

Djurgårdens seeking Lukas Bergvall transfer fee

Due to his position, playing attributes and Djurgårdens affiliation, he has been compared to Tottenham Hotspur star Lucas Bergvall, another youngster who was wanted by Juventus.

While the Bianconeri missed out on the Sweden international in favour of the Spurs, they will be determined to prevail in the race for Siltanen, albeit it won’t be easy amidst the growing competition for his services.

The Finland international reportedly has suitors in the Premier League, in addition to Bayer Leverkusen.

The Swedish club is seeking a transfer fee in the region of €20 million, quite similar to Bergvall’s.

Juventus are keeping a close eye on Nordsjaelland’s exciting teenager Prince Amoako Jr. who has been extremely impressive since arriving in Denmark.

The Bianconeri are constantly hunting for some of the finest talents in Europe and beyond, especially since launching their B-team in 2018, which was initially named ‘Juventus U23’, before being rebranded as ‘Juventus Next Gen’.

The likes of Kenan Yildiz, Matias Soule and Dean Huijsen have all plied their trade with the second team in Serie C, which may have accelerated their development.

Juventus scouting Prince Amoako Jr.

Since the Serie A giants are always on the lookout for new talent to add to the Next Gen ranks, the club’s scouts have now set their sights on Amoako Jr.

According to sources close to Juve FC, the 18-year-old has been proposed to the Serie A giants by intermediaries, so the club’s officials have been keeping tabs on the situation ever since.

The Bianconeri sent their scouts to watch the young winger in action against Viborg FF and Odense BK, and they were highly impressed by the youngster who has already produced three goals and an assist in his seven appearances in the Danish league. The scouts were particularly dazzled by Omoako’s pace and dribbling skills.

Why Amoako is compared to Mohammed Kudus

The wonderkid has been repeatedly likened to Tottenham Hotspur’s new signing, Mohammed Kudus, due to their shared roots and similar attributes.

Both compatriots started their careers in Ghana’s Right To Dream academy, which is affiliated with Nordsjaelland. Like Kudus, Amoako Jr. primarily plays as a left winger.

Naturally, they were both poached by the Danish top-flight club, which is gaining a reputation as one of Europe’s best talent factories. Nordsjaelland have also produced the likes of Kamaldeen Sulemana, Andreas Skov Olsen and Mikkel Damsgaard.

While Juventus have yet to make a formal approach, their constant scouting activity suggests that they consider Amoako as a serious candidate to join the club in the coming transfer windows.
