Juventus Attached to Two Talented Argentinian Attackers | OneFootball

Juventus will keep working on Federico Chiesa, but are keeping tabs on other options as well, as Thiago Almada has been offered to them by some intermediaries, while they are earmarked Bologna’s Santiago Castro for the future, Alfredo Pedullà informs.

The Bianconeri will wait for Liverpool’s call on the Italian forward. The two sides aren’t close on the terms at this stage. In addition, some within the Old Lady’s brass aren’t too high on the reunion.

Juventus plot to bring in a proper Kenan Yildiz deputy no matter what, and Thiago Almada would address such a need, while Castro is on their radar for June. The former hasn’t won over Diego Simeone following a €20M transfer and has mostly played off the bench, scoring twice and assisting once in 11 La Liga matches. He starred for Lyon and Atlanta United in previous campaigns.

Instead, Luciano Spalletti likes the traits of the Bologna marksman, who could become a summer target. Jonathan David bounced back midweek, and the Bianconeri will keep supporting Lois Openda following a lofty investment. If neither produces consistently, they could intervene in the role down the line, though. However, the Felsinei value their star at about €40M.

Our Take on Juventus Eyeing Thiago Almada and Castro

Chiesa would plug multiple holes on his own, but even if Liverpool could let him go for relatively cheap, matching his salary requests could be an issue. More than a Yildiz backup, they need to spark plug off the bench. It’d be a challenging task for a foreigner in his first Serie A turn. The Rossoblù marksman hasn’t made the final leap this year and is way too expensive and similar to their current strikers.
