Juventus pursue Sorloth, Jesus, Jackson in striker hunt

Juventus have stepped up their striker search with simultaneous moves for Alexander Sorloth, Gabriel Jesus, and Nicolas Jackson. The Bianconeri have also made enquiries about Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus and Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson as they target a major attacking overhaul following Dusan Vlahovic’s departure.

Atletico Madrid rejected Juventus’s opening bid of €22 million for Sorloth, valuing the Norwegian at €40 million. Despite the gap, optimism persists in Turin, with Spalletti personally calling Sorloth and agreeing personal terms on a four-year contract worth €4 million per season until 2029 with a one-year option.

Sorloth has pledged to provide a future update before the World Cup begins. Meanwhile, Juventus continue to explore alternatives, with Milan also registering interest in the Norwegian, adding urgency to their pursuit.

The club’s search extends beyond Sorloth, with enquiries made for Gabriel Jesus and Nicolas Jackson. Jesus could seek a move away from Bayern Munich, where Harry Kane’s central role limits his opportunities. Jackson’s situation at Chelsea may also prompt a departure.

Kolo Muani and Randal Kolo Muani remain Juventus’s clear priorities alongside Sorloth. The PSG forward, recently returned from a Tottenham loan, is expected to command at least €40 million.

With Loïs Openda and Jonathan David also potentially leaving this summer, Juventus may pursue multiple strikers before the transfer window closes.
