Attributed to original sourceJuventus have made an approach for River Plate and Paraguay international midfielder Matias Galarza, hinted his agent.
The 24-year-old is already well-travelled, having played in Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina and the USA, as he spent the last few months on loan with Atlanta United.
His contract with River Plate runs to December 2028, but is not training with the club after this loan, and he is eager to begin a new adventure in European football.

“My job is to get the best deal for him now. We have three or four proposals that we are examining. We’ll make a decision closer to the end of the transfer window.
“I can say that the strongest offer we have is from Europe, and specifically from Italy. He wants to go to Europe and is asking for a significant salary improvement, which is only fair after such a good World Cup.”
According to TyC Sports , the proposal that Galarza is giving the most consideration to is from Juventus.
There is also said to be some interest from Sunderland, but Juve would be a bigger draw.
The player has 19 senior caps for Paraguay, where he scored four goals and provided two assists, including the winner against Turkiye in the group stage this summer.
Galarza started all but one of Paraguay’s games at the World Cup, reaching the Round of 16 and eliminating Germany along the way.

Chance analysis
Juventus targeting a Paraguay international midfielder suggests they are looking to add depth and competition in midfield. If the transfer materializes, it could indicate Juventus' recruitment strategy is focused on South American talent markets for value. The agent's public positioning of Juventus as frontrunners is a common negotiation tactic to pressure other interested clubs to act quickly.
If completed, Galarza's arrival would add midfield depth to Juventus, while a sale would represent a significant transfer for his current club.
