Juve Eyes Parma Star Amid Striker Crisis
5 Jan
Summary
- Juventus seeks new forward due to striker injuries and form.
- Parma's Mateo Pellegrino is a top January transfer target.
- Parma reportedly values Pellegrino at €30m for a transfer.
Juventus is actively exploring options to bolster their attack during the January transfer window, spurred by a recent 1-1 draw with Lecce that highlighted their need for a more potent centre-forward. Injuries and inconsistent performances from existing strikers have intensified the search.
Reports indicate that Parma's Mateo Pellegrino is currently a leading candidate for the Bianconeri. The two clubs and their directors share a good working relationship, which could facilitate discussions. However, Parma is reportedly reluctant to part with their key striker mid-season and is seeking a substantial fee in the region of €30 million.
Alternative targets being considered include Alexander Sorloth from Atletico Madrid, Lorenzo Lucca of Napoli, and Artem Dovbyk from Roma. The club aims to secure a proven goalscorer to address their offensive shortcomings for the remainder of the season.
