Juventus interested in Sunderland and Brentford attackers – Early Black Cats exit floated

As Juventus look to replenish their squad, the Bianconeri are keeping a close eye on players from Brentford and Sunderland.

Gazzetta dello Sport report today that Juve want to improve their attack in the next six months. Whilst Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa is seen as a target for January, they are looking at several other players in England.

The Old Lady have placed Sunderland’s Simon Adingra on their transfer shortlist

The arrival from Brighton has played only 658 minutes in the Premier League this season. These numbers are key behind Juve’s interest and they see the Ivorian as a possible opportunity.

Details of a move are unknown, with the forward’s Sunderland contract running until 2030.

Brentford duo Kevin Schade and Mikkel Damsgaard are also of interest in Turin.

The Dane has history in Serie A from his time at Sampdoria. Juventus are keeping a close eye on his situation, with the versatile midfielder thought to be gettable.

While Schade has six Premier League goals for Brentford, Luciano Spalletti’s side also see him as a creative option. He currently commands a valuation of €30m to €35m, having cost the London club €25m in 2023.

That valuation appears to be lower than what reality would throw up, so Juventus may get a shock. Indeed, Tottenham have been linked today in Germany, with the potential value put at €60m there.

Schade’s ability to play centrally and on the left makes him a good candidate, with Juve exploring ‘creative options’ to possibly land these players at some point.
