Juve's transfer market, three strikes on the horizon for Tudor
2025-08-20 15:03:15 / SPORT
Juventus are working hard to unblock a transfer market that has remained frozen until now. The black and white leaders are convinced that without significant departures there can be no significant moves in the incomings. The main candidates to be sacrificed are Douglas Luiz and Niko Gonzalez, two players who have shown quality, but who are now seen more as a source of income than as a key part of the project.
The Brazilian midfielder, who was approached just a few months ago by Aston Villa, has lost weight in the Tudor hierarchy. His high salary and technical profile that does not fully match the coach's ideas have put him on the list of departures. The most concrete option is that of Nottingham Forest, which has opened direct talks with Juventus. The English have shown willingness for an agreement that could initially include a loan with an obligation to buy.
The total amount, between the fixed fee and bonuses linked to appearances and goals, could exceed 30 million euros. Such a financial injection would be pure oxygen for the Turin club's coffers. Niko Gonzalez's situation is somewhat more complicated. The Argentine striker, approached a year ago to provide an alternative on the offensive flanks, has not managed to fully convince. For Juventus, his value of around 30 million euros could become an important negotiating card.
An interesting option is on the horizon: a swap deal with Atletico Madrid for Nahuel Molina. The Argentina international is seen as the right-back, a role that Tudor has been lacking for a long time. The operation would make sense for all parties involved.
Juventus would secure a starter in an empty role, Atletico would add a quick and versatile player to their forward line, while the players themselves would benefit from a new scenario ahead of an approaching World Cup. Gonzalez is looking for more minutes and space to prove himself, while Molina sees a return to Serie A as a springboard to solidify his place in the Argentine national team.
After securing these two departures, Juventus has planned three incoming moves. The main targets remain a midfielder with physicality, a starting right-back and an offensive element capable of alternating with other players. For the moment the names are being kept secret, but clearly the club's strategy is closely linked to sales revenue. Without sacrifices there will be no reinforcements. The black and white transfer market thus enters a decisive phase. The possible departures of Douglas Luiz and Niko Gonzalez are not only tactical issues, but above all economic. Only by freeing up space on the balance sheet and on the payroll will Juventus be able to really enter the competition for players who can raise the level of the team.
