Report: Juventus keen on Felix Nmecha | OneFootball

Igor Tudor was only allowed to sit on the coaching bench of Juventus Turin for seven months. Then the 47-year-old Croatian lost his job. Eighth place in Serie A did not sit well with the decision-makers. However, a refresh is not only planned on the sidelines.

In the match against Udinese Calcio (October 29, 6:30 PM), Massimo Brambilla (52) from Juve's second team will take over Tudor's position. But in the long term, an experienced veteran is expected to get the Bianconeri back on track. According to information from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, former national coach Luciano Spalletti (66) is intended as the new head coach of the Italian record champions.

Changes are also planned in the Turin squad during the winter. The portal Calciomercato reports that an alternative to the so far unconvincing Teun Koopmeiners (27) is to be brought in. The central midfielder joined in the summer of 2024 for more than 58 million euros from league rival Atalanta Bergamo.

Although the Dutch national player has so far made 54 appearances for the Bianconeri with five goals and three assists, he has only rarely met the expectations placed on him. Despite backing from Juve's decision-makers, he has not been able to replicate his performances from his time in Bergamo.

Strong Performance in the Champions League

At the Champions League participant, manager Damien Comolli (52) is now intensively searching for a new addition to the central position. According to the report, Dortmund's Felix Nmecha (25) is considered one of the candidates for this position. His performance during the wild 4:4 in the "Champions League", when he scored the temporary 2:1 for Dortmund, reinforced Juve's management in their choice.

However, signing Nmecha is unlikely to be easy. The Hamburg-born player still has a contract until 2028 and could cost around 50 million euros. Additionally, clubs from Spain and England are also showing great interest in the performances of the BVB professional. Last winter, Newcastle United, Chelsea FC, and Manchester United are said to have had the 25-year-old on their list.
