Goretzka Returns to Juventus' Radar

The German Leon Goretzka has returned to Juventus' list of interests during the summer transfer window, coinciding with ongoing negotiations between the Italian club and Paris Saint-Germain regarding Randal Kolo Muani and the French club's interest in signing Khephren Thuram.

The "Football Italia" website reported that Juventus is looking to strengthen its squad despite its absence from the Champions League next season. The club is also working on bolstering its attack as Dusan Vlahovic is nearing departure at the end of his contract.

The newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport" reported that Thuram's name was mentioned during the discussions between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, who are monitoring the French midfielder. Meanwhile, the Italian club continues its pursuit to bring back Kolo Muani after the end of his previous loan spell with the club.

The newspaper added that Juventus could achieve significant financial gains from selling Thuram, who joined the team from Nice for 20 million euros in the summer of 2024, noting that both clubs prefer to complete two separate deals rather than a swap deal.

In the event of Thuram's departure, Goretzka stands out as the leading candidate to replace him, especially since he will be available on a free transfer at the end of his contract with Bayern Munich, while also offering great versatility in midfield positions.

The future of these moves remains tied to the outcomes of the ongoing negotiations between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain in the coming period.
