Luciano Spalletti continues to look for a physical centre-forward who can hold the ball, help the team move up the pitch and serve as a reference point in the opposition box. Alexander Sorloth remains a name that is liked in the black-and-white environment.
Juventus may return to the market to strengthen their attacking department. Coach Luciano Spalletti wants a classic-type striker, with a strong physique, the ability to play with his back to goal and create space for his teammates.
During the summer, the black-and-white leadership tried to meet this request from the coach, but without success. For the moment, Spalletti is trying to get the maximum out of two strikers with different characteristics, Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade.
However, according to reports in the Italian media, the January market does not offer many affordable alternatives. In Serie A, one of the names that could be considered is Gianluca Scamacca, while outside Italy Mateo Retegui and Folarin Balogun are mentioned.
One name continues to circulate in Juventus circles: Alexander Sorloth. The Norwegian striker of Atletico Madrid does not always get the minutes he wants due to strong competition in the squad.
Juventus’s previous interest could help reopen contacts, although his departure in January remains a hypothesis and not a concrete agreement.
