Juventus are keen to avoid another difficult adaptation process similar to that experienced by Douglas Luiz, who returned to England after an ill-fated spell in Turin. As a result, the club is prioritising players who already understand the tactical demands of Italian football.
Reijnders’ successful spell at Milan strengthens his appeal. During his time in Italy, he established himself as one of the league’s most effective midfielders before earning his move to England. However, finances remain a significant obstacle. City’s investment makes a straightforward purchase difficult for Juventus, especially as the club continue to reshape its squad following the expected departure of Teun Koopmeiners.
