Juve targets free transfers: Tomori, Raum and Kovacic on the list
Even though the market has been closed for less than a month and will reopen in just over three weeks, Juventus continues to move under the radar, focusing on three zero‑cost names for next January: Fikayo Tomori, David Raum and Mateo Kovacic.
Zero‑cost strategy and recent precedents
The Turin club has already experimented with the “zero‑parameter” policy with players such as Jonathan David, who turned out to be a disappointment but remains a potential profit, and Zeki Celik, considered a valuable piece by Massimiliano Spalletti in the first part of the season.
Defensive objectives: Tomori and possible exit of Gatti
Juventus’s newly appointed Chief Football Officer has long had his eye on Fikayo Tomori, an English defender who in January 2021 moved to Milan on loan from Chelsea for just under €30 million. After being sidelined by Andrea Amorim, Tomori refused to leave in the summer in order to assess a free‑agent future starting in January. If Juventus were to sell Andrea Gatti, who wants more playing time, Tomori would be the first choice.
For the left flank, Juventus are watching David Raum, the captain of Leipzig. The German club could renew the contract, but if an agreement is not reached the strongest competition would be Manchester United.
In midfield, the team is monitoring the case of Mateo Kovacic, the 32‑year‑old Croatian whose contract with Manchester City expires on 30 June. With the arrival of Enzo Fernandez and Bouaddi, competition for his position has increased, but Spalletti sees him as the ideal mix of experience and technical quality.
So far there is no concrete negotiation; Juventus remains on standby, keeping its eyes open as always.
