Trending
According to Tutto Sport, via Marca, Juventus are weighing up all possibilities this summer, but have made it a priority to sign a striker whether Ronaldo leaves or stays.
The report states that the Italian giants will look for a younger striker if the Portugal superstar decides to stay, while looking for a more established striker if he decides to part ways with the club. Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus, PSG's Mauro Icardi and Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic have reportedly been shortlisted by the club as potential players to replace Ronaldo if he leaves this summer.
Juventus ready to hijack Roma deal for Granit Xhaka
Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Granit Xhaka and are ready to swoop in for the midfielder following his impressive performance at Euro 2020. Xhaka was one of the stars for Switzerland as they beat France 5-4 on penalties in the Round of 16.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus have identified Xhaka as a possible alternative for Manuel Locatelli. The Bianconeri are currently locked in negotiations with Sassuolo over a move for the Italian midfielder, but have lined up the Arsenal man in case those negotiations fall through.
Xhaka is reportedly on the verge of joining Roma, having already agreed personal terms with the club. All that is left is for the Giallorossi to agree upon a transfer fee for the midfielder.
Everton weighing up move for Merih Demiral
Everton are reportedly interested in signing Juventus defender Merih Demiral this summer. The 23-year old is set to leave the club after finding playing-time hard to come by. Demiral made only 24 appearances during the 2020-21 season.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus is prepared to let the Turkish centre-back leave this summer, but have put a €40 million pricetag on the defender.
It remains to be seen whether Everton will be willing to pay such a hefty price for the 23-year old.
