Juventus have been linked with a move for Eljif Elmas, with [Sky Sports Italia](https://sport.sky.it/calciomercato/2026/06/17/juventus-elmas-calciomercato-news) reporting that Luciano Spalletti wants to work with him again in Turin.
The Macedonian was a member of the Napoli team that won the Serie A title under Spalletti during the 2022/2023 season, and the manager placed considerable trust in him throughout their time together.
Their successful partnership has remained notable, and it is one of the reasons why Juventus are now being linked with a move for the midfielder as they continue shaping their squad for the future.
Spalletti Keen on Reunion
-------------------------
Elmas joined RB Leipzig in 2024 and spent last season on loan at Napoli, a move that is yet to be made permanent, which could allow Juventus to pursue his signature.
The midfielder already understands what Spalletti demands from his players, and the manager is interested in adding him to his squad because of their previous successful working relationship.
Having a player who is familiar with his methods could help accelerate the implementation of his ideas, while also providing additional quality and versatility in midfield.
Juventus Ready to Support Their Manager
---------------------------------------
Juventus want to support their manager, and the Old Lady are prepared to back him with the right players to ensure the team performs well.
The men at the Allianz Stadium will now look to work on a deal to bring Elmas to Turin and provide their manager with a player he believes can improve the squad.
Securing the midfielder would represent another step in Juventus’ efforts to strengthen key areas of the team and provide greater depth ahead of the challenges of a new campaign. The club appear determined to give Spalletti the resources required to build a competitive side capable of achieving its objectives.
Spalletti has already shown that he can take the team to the next level, and adding Elmas could help him achieve success much faster. The midfielder’s familiarity with the manager’s tactical approach may prove valuable if Juventus decide to move forward with their interest and complete a transfer in the coming weeks.
