Juventus Targets Joao Palhinha for Midfield Reinforcement

Juventus has begun evaluating several options to bolster their midfield during the summer transfer window, with Portuguese player Joao Palhinha, currently at Bayern Munich after a loan spell at Tottenham, emerging as a potential target for the Italian club.

According to Italian newspaper "Tuttosport," Juventus is currently prioritizing the signing of a goalkeeper and a striker, but they are also actively searching for a midfielder who can enhance the squad ahead of the new season.

The report added that Palhinha is one of the options being considered by Juventus management, although the club has yet to initiate any formal negotiations with Bayern Munich to finalize the deal.

The report also indicated that Juventus officials are monitoring several players in the midfield position, continuing to assess available options before making a final decision on transfers.

Juventus is preparing to participate in the UEFA Europa League for the 2026/2027 season after missing out on the Champions League, prompting the club to work on strengthening their squad with new signings during the summer transfer market.
