Juventus consider January move for Schick, 7 years after failed medicals – report | OneFootball

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are considering a January move for Patrik Schick, who failed medical tests in Turin seven years ago.

Dusan Vlahovic’s recent injury seems to have convinced Juventus to sign a new centre-forward in the January transfer window.

The Serbia international has been diagnosed with a minor muscle problem, but he’s the only striker available at the Allianz Stadium, given that Arkadiusz Milik, who underwent surgery last month, won’t return to action before January 2025.

Therefore, according to Gazzetta, Juventus are considering Bayer Leverkusen striker Schick as a potential reinforcement for the winter transfer window.

The 28-year-old was already close to joining Juventus in the summer of 2017 and even underwent medical tests with the Old Lady.

The Serie A giants refused to finalise the deal with Sampdoria after medical examinations, so the Czech Republic international joined Roma a few weeks later.

According to Gazzetta, Juventus are interested in a loan move for the ex-Giallorossi forward who is struggling for playing time under Xabi Alonso and has only started five games across all competitions this season.

Schick has scored 16 goals in 78 Serie A matches with Samp and Roma. His Bayer Leverkusen contract expires in June 2027.
