Juventus eye a midfielder in January: Højbjerg on the list
Spalletti wants midfield reinforcements with Locatelli and Thuram sidelined; Højbjerg, valued at around €10m, is the simplest option.
Juventus are looking for a midfielder in January. With Locatelli and Thuram out long-term and no like-for-like replacements, Luciano Spalletti wants reinforcements, and Pape Matar Sarr has not convinced him: just one point from his last three starts in Serie A.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the simplest option is Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. Marseille would not put up much resistance: he is 32, his contract runs to 2028 and his valuation is around 10 million euros, perhaps a little less. Spalletti's dream, though, is Frank Anguissa of Napoli, far from renewing and who could leave for free in June. Napoli would hardly sell a direct European rival, especially Juventus, but it is not impossible.
