Juventus push for Champions League at all costs, three signings in January

Juventus is aiming for the Champions League at all costs, an internal message leaked and broadcast within the Bianconeri house. The club is already evaluating all possible reinforcements for the January market, with the goal of securing sporting and financial qualification. Carnevali is working on the list, which already includes Mateo Retegui and Pierre‑Emile Hojbjerg among the priority targets.

Ranking objectives and needs

The Bianconeri management has already identified at least three moves to get closer to fourth place, currently occupied by Milan.

A season outside Europe is unacceptable: the six points lost against the Rossoneri are considered recoverable and Spalletti is awaiting the return of injured players and market interventions.

Transfer targets

According to him, the priorities are a centre‑forward, a defensive left‑back and an experienced midfielder capable of providing leadership.

From Carnevali to Massara the correct maneuvers are being studied, taking the settlement agreement into account: for every departure a arrival is planned.

For the attack, Alexander Sørloth of Atletico Madrid, Folarin Balogun of Monaco and Mateo Retegui of Al Qadsiah are on the radar.

For the left flank Juventus are watching Rayan Ait‑Nouri of Manchester City.

In midfield the hottest name is Pierre‑Emile Hojbjerg of Marseille, considered ready to leave the French club in January.

Spalletti wants a physical centre‑forward, capable of duelling opposing backlines and often finding himself in the penalty area.

The idea is to add a striker to Kolo Muani and Woltemade, possibly sacrificing Zhegrova permanently and Ekhator on loan, with the radar focused on Sørloth, Balogun and Retegui.

The midfield department will depend on the recovery of Locatelli and Thuram, but the management is looking for a leader similar to Hojbjerg, ready to leave already in January.

If Cabal were to leave, the preferred choice is Ait‑Nouri; alternatively, Tagliafico of Lyon and Araujo of Sporting Lisbon remain.
