MiTi: Juventus’ winter window signing targets include Hojbjerg, Bernabei, Molina and Gusteau

"Gazzetta dello Sport" wrote an article about Juventus's winter window plan, targeting Hojbjerg, Bernabe, Molina and Gusteau.

For many years, Juventus' midfield has been the team's real Achilles' heel. The key word is "quality," and that's exactly what they've been lacking for so long. Not only that, in addition to the characteristics of individual players, Juventus also lacks players who can rotate the main pairing of Locatelli and K. Thuram. As McKennie has been transformed more into a wide player and Kupmenas has been readjusted as a central defender, Juventus senior management is looking for opportunities in the January transfer market. The goal is to find a midfield commander: Hojbjerg and Bernabe are potential options.

Hojbjerg is the most favored target because he has leadership, experience and the ability to lead the team. He is not a typical commanding midfielder, but he is a midfield warrior and will be very useful for Spalletti. The problem is that the 30-year-old Danish player is currently the main player in Marseille, and negotiations may not be easy.

Another option is Parma's Bernabe. He is a thinking player with excellent long-range shooting ability (such as the goal against Milan) and strong ball control skills. Arguably, he is the type closest to Spalletti's ideal midfielder, similar to Udinese's Pizarro and Napoli's Lobotka. The problem is his transfer fee.

In addition, Juventus is also paying attention to wing players, especially the right wing: Atletico Madrid's Molina has always been their target, while Chelsea's Gusteau is an emerging name. The French player born in 2003 is not the absolute starter under Maresca. He prefers Reece James, but Gusteau has excellent running ability and can complete the task of both offense and defense well: so far, he has contributed 1 goal and 2 assists in 13 games for Chelsea.
