After completing the signing of Jeff Ekhator, Juventus are closing in on a move for Mateo Pellegrino from Parma while continuing negotiations to bring Randal Kolo Muani to the squad from Paris Saint-Germain. The Bianconeri are working quickly to improve their team ahead of the new season, according to Calciomercato.
Juventus want to have new additions available during the opening weeks of preseason because the World Cup has reduced the amount of time clubs have to prepare for the upcoming campaign. The club have several names on their transfer list and are looking to complete deals as soon as possible.
Juventus push for Pellegrino deal
Pellegrino is reportedly the next player expected to join Juventus, with the club already in discussions with the attacker over a move from Parma. The Bianconeri see him as a valuable addition and are keen to complete the agreement before another club can enter the race.
Parma would prefer to keep the forward, but they understand it will be difficult to prevent an important player from moving to Juventus. The two clubs have been in contact as they work towards finding an agreement.
The attacker is also believed to be interested in the move and has been open to accepting Juventus’ proposal. He wants to join the Bianconeri and continue his career with one of Italy’s biggest clubs.
Juventus look to secure attacking options
Pellegrino has enjoyed a positive spell in Italian football and has attracted attention because of his performances. If Juventus fail to complete a deal, another club could attempt to sign him, which is why the Bianconeri are keen to act quickly.
The club are also continuing their efforts to add Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain as they look to strengthen its attack. Juventus is determined to improve the quality of their squad and believe adding new attacking options will help them compete more effectively.
With negotiations progressing, Pellegrino could soon become another new arrival at Juventus as the club continues building their squad for the season ahead.
