Juventus is watching AS Monaco star after his failed move to Everton | OneFootball

Juventus remain on the market for at least one new attacker despite the arrivals of Nick Woltemade and Randal Kolo Muani during the summer.

Both attackers joined after the club lost Lois Openda, Dusan Vlahovic and Jonathan David, meaning the Bianconeri could still benefit from adding another striker to their squad. The January transfer window will provide another opportunity to strengthen the attack.

Juventus monitor Balogun

One player on their radar ahead of the January window is Folarin Balogun, who came close to joining Everton during the last transfer window. The striker decided against the move just hours before the window closed, leaving him at AS Monaco.

Monaco still want to sell Balogun, and his situation has attracted Juventus’ attention. The Bianconeri could now consider making an approach when the transfer window opens, depending on how the situation develops.

Balogun could provide Juventus with another attacking option, while his availability could make him an attractive target for a club looking to strengthen its forward line.

Balogun could move in January

Tuttomercatoweb claims Juventus are among the clubs considering a move for Balogun when the January transfer window opens. The Bianconeri reportedly view him as one of the top players available and could explore the possibility of adding him to their squad.

Juventus will need to assess the cost of signing Balogun before deciding whether to pursue their interest. His situation could also be influenced by the performances of Woltemade and Kolo Muani during the first part of the season.

If both attackers perform well, Juventus may decide that they have enough options in attack. However, if they fail to provide the required goals and performances, the Bianconeri could increase their efforts to sign another striker.

For now, Balogun remains at Monaco, while Juventus continue to monitor his situation ahead of January. His potential availability, transfer fee and the form of the club’s existing forwards will all play a role in determining whether the Bianconeri make an approach.
