Juventus’ Transfer Strategy: Sell First, Buy Later
Juventus is gearing up for a busy January transfer window, with the club needing to offload players before making any new signings. The recent injuries to key defenders have highlighted the need to reinforce the squad, but financial constraints mean Juventus must first generate funds through sales.
Arthur tops the list of players Juventus is looking to move. His representatives have been working for weeks to find a suitable destination, with Real Betis and Valencia emerging as potential suitors. While a permanent transfer seems unlikely, a loan deal could help Juventus shed part of Arthur’s hefty wages.
Young midfielder Nicolò Fagioli is another player who could be sold to finance new signings. Currently on the fringes of the first team, Fagioli has attracted interest from abroad and could fetch around €20 million. Teenage forward Samuel Mbangula may also be allowed to leave if a good offer arrives.
Despite transfer rumors, defender Danilo appears set to stay, as his departure would further weaken Juventus’ backline. Similarly, Douglas Luiz is keen to remain and prove himself after an injury-plagued start to the season.
One player firmly off the market is Kenan Yildiz. The talented young attacker is seen as central to Juventus’ future plans and has been deemed untouchable in the transfer market.
As Juventus navigates a challenging financial landscape, their transfer strategy is clear – they must sell before they can buy. The coming weeks will reveal which players depart and who arrives to bolster the squad for the second half of the season.
