Juventus target Højbjerg for midfield, De Zerbi’s Marseille stand firm! | OneFootball

Juventus is preparing for the January transfer market, which will see the Old Lady engaged in the search for the midfielder missing from the Bianconeri squad: a strong playmaker, given captain Locatelli's difficulty in interpreting the game. This issue slows down the maneuver and ball possession of a team whose coach has taught many colleagues about ball possession.

Juventus, target Hojbjerg for the midfield: De Zerbi's Marseille stands firm!

The main market target for Juventus, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, has a name, and it's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, central midfielder for Marseille, who previously also played for Tottenham, during which time the Bianconeri were already following the Dane as an option for the central part of the field. The problem for Comolli and Juventus, who still do not have a full-time sporting director, is the resistance from Marseille itself, due to the will of their coach, Roberto De Zerbi, with the Bianconeri continuing to push.

The relations between Juventus and Marseille are excellent, with the French team's sporting director being Medhi Benatia, a former Bianconeri player: the two teams skillfully closed the deal in the summer that brought Timothy Weah to OM, but this time the situation does not seem to be so easy, as the Italian coach, formerly of Brighton, has no intention of letting his starting playmaker leave.
