Juventus Following Porto Striker Ahead of Next Summer | OneFootball

Juventus will be busy in January, but they are also thinking about the future and are keeping tabs on Samu Aghehowa, who was known as Omorodion not too long ago. He’s filling his boots with Porto after leaving Atletico Madrid late last summer.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Bianconeri will monitor a few high-profile strikers until they know for sure whether they’ll be able to keep Dusan Vlahovic. The talent has recorded 16 goals in 20 matches, adding 2 assists, since the switch.

The valuation of Aghehowa has skyrocketed in the span of a few months, and Juventus and his other suitors will have to deal with a tough bargainer like Porto, which will want no less than €60M. The striker had a seesawing summer after breaking out on loan at Alaves.

He was targeted by a few Serie A teams, but he seemed destined to stay at Atletico Madrid at first. Then, Chelsea almost acquired him in a swap, which collapsed at the 11th hour. Finally, os Dragoes snapped him up for €15M. The talent and coach Cholo Simeone had different versions about his exit, blaming the other.

Our Take on Juventus and Aghehowa

The Old Lady will be in an interesting spot if they have to sell Vlahovic because they can’t agree to a new contract or just don’t want such an expensive salary in their books. As they have done with Teun Koopmeiners, they might spend big on the fee if the wages aren’t too rich. It’d be a risk to go with a relatively unproven player, albeit with massive potential. Joshua Zirkzee and Jonathan David, if still available, would be at the forefront of their search.
