Juventus transfers: Nkunku offered, possible swap deal for Spanish left-back | OneFootball

Tuttosport reports that Chelsea have offered Christopher Nkunku to Juventus, while the Bianconeri are considering a player-plus-cash swap deal between Miguel Gutiérrez and Arthur.

Juventus are already moving for summer transfer reinforcements, and according to Tuttosport, Chelsea forward Nkunku has been offered to the Old Lady for the summer.

The French striker is unhappy under Enzo Maresca, and he’s reportedly been assessed by the Serie A giants, who will need to sign at least a new centre forward next season.

The Blues have been linked with ex-Juventus centre-back Dean Huijsen, currently at Bournemouth, but the Bianconeri no longer have control over the promising Spanish defender.

According to several sources, another defender from Spain, Girona’s Miguel Gutiérrez, who plays left-back, is on Juventus’ radar.

As per Diario AS in Spain, the Serie A giants are close to finalising a deal for €35m, while Tuttosport is more cautious, saying that the Bianconeri are still working out a plan.

This may also involve Brazilian midfielder Arthur, who joined Girona on loan in the January transfer window.

What Giuntoli said about Juventus transfers

Talking about Juventus’ transfer strategies for the future, club director Giuntoli said on Sunday: “We started the season with some economic and technical objectives, we are convinced that we’re on the right track and that we will be competitive next season regardless.

“Clearly, the Champions League would help a great deal financially and in terms of prestige.

“These are young and fertile players who showed they can adapt to different coaches, so we hope to continue along this path and achieve our objective of Champions League qualification,” noted Giuntoli.

“Tudor had a strong impact, we want to continue with him, but we can decide throughout the Club World Cup along with him whether or not to continue together.”
