Juventus have already been very active in the summer transfer window, but according to Gazzetta, they are still looking to add up to three more reinforcements; their immediate priority, however, is to free up space in the squad before making those additions.

Juventus have made six summer signings so far, welcoming the likes of Guglielmo Vicario, Zeki Celik, Jhon Lucumi, Kerim Alajbegović, Randal Kolo Muani and Jeff Ekhator.

Juventus preparing for sales and more new signings According to Gazzetta and other Italian sources, their transfer activity is far from being over, as Luciano Spalletti hopes the club will sign a potential new starter in central midfield, a back-up full-back and a centre-forward.

In order to complete all these signings, however, the Old Lady must free up space in the team.

Brazilian midfielder Arthur will be released through a mutual contract termination, but the Bianconeri are also waiting for offers for Teun Koopmeiners, Juan Cabal, Jonathan David and Michele Di Gregorio.

Their priority in central midfield is free-agent Franck Kessié, with Leon Goretzka, also available on a free transfer, as their main alternative.

Wolverhampton defender Hugo Bueno is the main target at left-back, followed by Italy international Emerson Palmieri, a low-cost option, who already played under Spalletti at Roma.

The summer transfer window closes on September 1, and Juventus must first offload unwanted players before completing their final signings.

What happened

Juventus are drawing up plans for a busy remainder of the transfer window, targeting three additional signings to strengthen their squad. Among the priorities is a striker currently at Manchester United, suggesting the Turin club are addressing attacking depth. The report comes as Juventus continue to reshape their roster ahead of the new season, with the club balancing financial constraints against sporting ambitions in Serie A.

Chance analysis

Juventus are signaling clear intent to reinforce their attacking options before the transfer window closes, and the pursuit of a Manchester United striker underlines both a need for firepower and a willingness to engage with Premier League counterparts. For United, losing a forward to Juventus would raise further questions about squad planning under their current hierarchy, while in Turin the arrival of an established striker could shift the balance of power in Serie A's top-four race. With three signings targeted in total, this points to a multi-position rebuild rather than a single-gap fix.

Impact

Juventus are likely to become stronger in attack and squad depth if all three targets are secured, while Manchester United could lose a forward option.
