Juventus Unlikely to Be Able to Sign Napoli Attacker | OneFootball

Giacomo Raspadori is on the Juventus shortlist of strikers to deputize Dusan Vlahovic given Arkadiusz Milik’s injury woes, but, despite his small role at Napoli, it’ll be extremely difficult to sign him. Given how the season is going, the Partenopei don’t want to do business with a rival, Calciomercato informs.

The agents of the players are canvassing the market to find a team that could allow him to play more. The Bianconeri are an option but more for the summer than in January. Aurelio De Laurentiis doesn’t want to strengthen a fellow contender and won’t loan him out to them.

Juventus would try to add Raspadori with such a formula, as they’ll utilize their small budget to acquire a defender in January, Rai’s Paolo Paganini informs (via Blasting News). There’s not a clear frontrunner for now, but that will be their strategy after losing Gleison Bremer.

Instead, Cristiano Giuntoli will attempt to bring in a striker for cheap if there’s the right opportunity. The Old Lady is keeping an eye on what will happen to Joshua Zirkzee after the sacking of Erik Ten Hag and the arrival of Ruben Amorim. Given his early struggles and the coaching change, the Red Devils could indeed let him go.

Our Take on Juventus, Raspadori, and Zirkzee

The Napoli attacker is a sound target given his versatility and the fact that Thiago Motta likes to go without a pure striker from time to time, but the top Serie A teams are rarely as pragmatic as the Premier League ones, which routinely swap underutilized players. They’d have to empty their coffers to persuade Napoli. Instead, getting the Dutchman at a bargain price would be highway robbery.
