Juventus are looking to add to their ranks and have turned their attention to the Premier League in order to do so.

It has not been a great season for the Old Lady so far, sitting fifth in Serie A, but the division is tight and they are just six points off top spot.

Veteran manager Luciano Spalletti replaced Igor Tudor as the boss in Turin in October and he is looking to add to his squad as soon as possible.

Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Juve want a wide forward and a full-back and are ready to make moves.

Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa has become their number one target for their front line, hoping to bring the 28-year-old back to the club.

The Italy international left Juve for Anfield in 2024 but has never been more than a fringe player for the Reds, due to injuries and fierce competition.

He made just 14 appearances in all competitions in his first season on Merseyside and has featured more regularly this campaign, with 20 outings so far, but is not a starter.

Juventus are keen on bringing Chiesa back to Serie A on loan, while Liverpool are only interested in selling him on a permanent basis.

Negotiations have begun and will continue, with a deal a distinct possibility.

Chiesa only cost Liverpool an initial £10m, with £2.5m in add-ons when they brought him to the Premier League.

Manchester United’s versatile defender Noussair Mazraoui is also on the shopping list in Turin, with the Moroccan currently on duty at the African Cup of Nations.

The 28-year-old made 57 appearances in his first season with the Red Devils after joining from Bayern Munich in 2024.

Injuries have hampered him this campaign, but has made nine Premier League appearances.

Juventus were interested in a move for Mazraoui in the summer but it went nowhere, but they remain keen on the former Ajax man.
