Juventus starts talks for Atalanta striker

Juventus is working hard to sign a new striker This has been expected for a while, but the club is now speeding up its efforts.

With Dusan Vlahovic likely leaving this summer and no agreement yet with PSG for Randal Kolo Muani, Juventus wants to make sure they have a strong striker ready.

Juventus is showing strong interest in Mateo Retegui. The Italian-Argentine striker had a great season at Atalanta, scoring 25 goals. He has caught the attention of big clubs like Manchester United and Atletico Madrid.

However, Juventus has already started talking with his agents to explore a possible transfer. Atalanta values Retegui between €45 50 million, which is almost twice what they paid Genoa to sign him last year.

Retegui is not the only striker Juventus is looking at. They are also considering Rasmus Hojlund, a former Atalanta player now with Manchester United.

After struggling in England, Hojlund might be available for around €45 million much less than the €85 million United paid for him. Juventus is seriously thinking about bringing him back to Italy.

Another name on Juventus’ radar is Jonathan David from Lille. He is expected to leave the French club and could be signed on a free transfer.

His agent, Nick Mavromaras, is currently in talks with Napoli, who have offered a four year contract worth €6 million per season, with an option for a fifth year.

However, both sides still need to agree on a release clause that would become active in 2027. Juventus is still in the race and trying to move quickly before others seal the deal.
