Juventus Earmark PSV Speedster for Future Consideration | OneFootball

Juventus will have the opportunity to scout a possible summer target, Johan Bakayoko, from up close in the playoff with PSV. The Bianconeri were impressed by him in the previous meeting with the Dutch side, Tuttomercatoweb’s Mirko Di Natale reports.

The Old Lady could add another pacey attacker in the next window. Ademola Lookman is their favorite option in that sense, but it’ll be tough to come to terms with Atalanta. There’ll be no shortage of suitors for him abroad.

Juventus will keep tabs on Bakayoko also due to his favorable contractual situation. His deal is up in 2026, and he’s unlikely to extend it, making him a safe bet to depart at the end of the season. The 21-year-old has recorded 10 goals and 3 assists in 30 matches across all competitions so far this season. He has hit the net in three of the last four matches.

The speedster joined PSV at a very young age and started being a regular with the first team three seasons ago. He has 115 appearances with them under his belt, during which he has scored 31 times and dished 22 helpers. He has 18 caps with Belgium.

Our Take on Juventus and Bakayoko

He’s surely an intriguing and high-upside prospect, and Premier League teams will predictably be all over him in the summer if he doesn’t extend his contract in the next few months. The Bianconeri are in good shape at his position now that everybody is healthy, but surprises and sales out of the blue to collect money could always be just around the corner.
