According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli will be in Rome this evening to watch Italy-Belgium and will be scouting four Azzurri opponents, including Lois Openda and Wout Faes.

Italy and Belgium meet in the third Nations League game in Rome this evening, and according to Gazzetta, Giuntoli will be in the stands to keep an eye on a few players.

It is no secret that Juventus need a backup striker for Dusan Vlahovic, as Arkadiusz Milik recently underwent surgery and is expected to remain out of action for several weeks.

According to Gazzetta, Giuntoli will monitor RB Leipzig ace Openda closely, a player Juventus already met in the Champions League last week.

Sevilla’s Dodi Lukebakio is reported to be another Belgian striker on the Old Lady’s agenda. A versatile striker, the 27-year-old can play as an attacking winger or a centre-forward.

Juventus also need a new centre-back in January to replace the injured Gleison Bremer. Aside from experienced defender Skriniar, now at PSG, Juventus are also monitoring Wout Faes of Leicester City and Zeno Debast, a 20-year-old central defender under contract with Sporting CP.
