Juventus is reportedly considering a move for Napoli forward Giacomo Raspadori in the upcoming January transfer window.
The 24-year-old Italian international has struggled for consistent playing time under Napoli’s current management, leading to speculation about his future.
According to Tuttosport (via Ilbianconero), Juventus is seeking to bolster their attacking options and views Raspadori as a viable addition.
The Bianconeri are exploring a potential swap deal involving their defender Danilo, a player Napoli coach Antonio Conte reportedly admires.
However, such a deal presents challenges. Juventus’s defensive depth is already a concern, and losing Danilo without securing a capable replacement could jeopardize their backline stability.
However, the Brazilian defender has expressed a desire to remain in Turin at least until the end of the current season.
Additionally, Napoli’s initial reluctance to strengthen a direct rival adds complexity to the negotiations.
While Juventus explores options, Roma has also shown interest in the Italian international, potentially complicating the pursuit.
Raspadori’s versatility and technical skills make him an attractive target for Juventus, especially as they aim to reduce the offensive burden on Dusan Vlahovic.
The forward’s limited appearances this season have fueled his desire for more regular playing time, potentially making a move away from Napoli appealing.
As the January transfer window approaches, Juventus fans will have to wait and see if the club can overcome these hurdles and secure the signature of one of Serie A’s rising stars.
