Juventus expected to finalize Hancko deal in June after january move was blocked

Juventus remains steadfast in its pursuit of Slovakian defender David Hancko. The Feyenoord center-back has been on the club’s radar for months, with the Italian giants making an attempt to bring him to Turin during the January transfer window.

However, the Dutch club held firm, blocking any potential move for now. Despite the setback, Juventus has not lost interest and continues to monitor the player closely, keeping negotiations open for a future deal.

According to Tuttosport (via Ilbianconero), Juventus has not abandoned its plans, and the transfer appears to be merely postponed rather than canceled.

It is only a matter of time before Thiago Motta welcomes what is considered the most crucial reinforcement for the defensive lineup.

The club sees Hancko as a key addition to bolster the backline, particularly with aging defenders and potential departures expected in the summer transfer window.

As per Tuttosport, the ideal window for Juventus to finalize Hancko’s transfer falls within the first ten days of June.

During this period, FIFA will provide a special transfer window for clubs participating in the Club World Cup, allowing them to make early acquisitions.

This exclusive window could give Juventus an advantage in securing Hancko ahead of other interested clubs. The Italian club is keen to take full advantage of this opportunity, ensuring that they strengthen their squad before pre-season preparations begin.

Juventus is reportedly prepared to secure Hancko with a permanent transfer deal valued between €22-23 million, plus additional performance-based bonuses.

The negotiations between Juventus and Feyenoord are expected to intensify in the coming months, with both clubs likely to reach a final agreement that satisfies all parties involved.

Hancko himself is reportedly open to the idea of joining Juventus, as playing in Serie A could be a significant step forward in his career.

This move underscores the club’s commitment to strengthening its defense ahead of the upcoming season.

Juventus aims to build a competitive team capable of challenging for both domestic and international titles, and Hancko is viewed as a crucial component of this plan.

With Juventus determined to bring Hancko to Turin, the summer transfer window could finally see the long-awaited deal come to fruition, marking a significant boost to the club’s defensive options and overall squad depth.
