Reports emerging from Italy suggest that Juventus’s newly appointed director, Giovanni Carnevali, is committed to strengthening the team with a core group of Italian players. His transfer targets reportedly include Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa and Giovanni Leoni, as well as Fiorentina’s Cher Ndour.
Publications like La Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttosport indicate that a primary objective for Carnevali is to increase the number of Italian signings at Juventus compared to previous seasons. This strategy is intended to assist coach Luciano Spalletti in establishing a distinct team identity for the upcoming campaign.
Juventus Eyes Liverpool’s Chiesa and Leoni
According to Gazzetta, two of Juventus’s primary summer transfer targets currently play for Liverpool: Federico Chiesa and Giovanni Leoni.
Chiesa has previously expressed his desire not to leave Juventus in 2024 and has indicated openness to a return to the Allianz Stadium.
Giovanni Leoni, on the other hand, experienced an unfortunate debut season with Liverpool. He sustained a cruciate ligament injury in his very first match, which unfortunately kept him sidelined for the entire campaign.
Gazzetta also reports that Juventus is closely monitoring Fiorentina’s Cher Ndour, who recently made his senior debut for Italy under Silvio Baldini. Additionally, Sassuolo’s Domenico Berardi is mentioned as a potential target, as he might reunite with Carnevali, having spent his entire career at Sassuolo.
La Gazzetta dello Sport notes that Fiorentina considers Ndour a crucial player for their future. However, Juventus could potentially propose a player-plus-cash deal involving Fabio Miretti.
Juventus Targets Liverpool Pair
Italian media reports suggest that new Juventus director Giovanni Carnevali plans to build a strong core of Italian talent. His transfer targets reportedly include Liverpool players Federico Chiesa and Giovanni Leoni, along with Fiorentina’s Cher Ndour.
La Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttosport are reporting that one of the key goals for the new Juventus director, Carnevali, is to sign more Italian players than in the past. This move is aimed at helping coach Luciano Spalletti forge a strong team identity for the next season.
Juventus targets Liverpool’s Chiesa and Leoni
According to Gazzetta, two of the Bianconeri’s targets for the summer transfer window are currently at Liverpool, with Carnevali setting his sights on both Chiesa and Leoni.
Chiesa has publicly stated that he did not wish to leave Juventus in 2024 and has expressed his willingness to return to the Allianz Stadium.
Leoni, conversely, had an unfortunate debut season at Liverpool, suffering a cruciate ligament injury in his first game, which resulted in him missing the entire campaign.
Gazzetta also indicates that Juventus is closely watching Fiorentina’s Ndour, who recently earned his senior debut for Italy under Silvio Baldini. Sassuolo’s Domenico Berardi is another name mentioned, potentially reuniting with Carnevali after an entire career at Sassuolo.
Gazzetta highlights that Fiorentina views Ndour as a vital player for their future. However, Juventus might propose a player-plus-cash exchange involving Fabio Miretti.
