Hugo Bueno
On Thursday, it was reported that Juventus has an interest in Hugo Bueno, a 23-year-old Spanish left-back who plays for Wolves. There has been speculation about a potential exit for the player, who has been capped 8 times for Spain's U21 team, since his club was relegated.

Joshua Zirkzee
On Friday, Corriere dello Sport reported that Joshua Zirkzee has decided he wants to join Juventus and has given the club his absolute priority. Manchester United is said to be open to a loan with an option to buy, with discussions ongoing about an obligation to buy. This followed a report from Gazzetta dello Sport on Thursday stating Zirkzee had approved moves to both Juventus and Napoli. Also on Thursday, Tuttomercato reported that Juventus had renewed their efforts to sign the Dutch player, with sporting director Massara re-establishing contact with his representatives for a loan proposal with an option to buy.
Rayan Aït Nouri
Juventus has identified Manchester City's Rayan Aït-Nouri as the main alternative to their primary left-back target, Alvaro Carreras, it was reported on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Algerian winger is valued by the technical staff for his international experience, offensive drive, and tactical versatility. Contacts with the representatives of both players are ongoing, and Aït-Nouri could become a priority if negotiations for Carreras encounter more difficulties.
Juan Musso
On Friday, Tuttomercato reported that Juan Musso could potentially be transferred to Juventus to serve as a new backup for Guglielmo Vicario. The report added that Musso is the most talked-about name among those mentioned for the role. The 32-year-old Argentine goalkeeper, who plays for Atletico Madrid, had been offered to both Juventus and Napoli by an intermediary in the last week.
Leon Goretzka
According to Gianluca Di Marzio on Friday, Juventus is currently focused on other positions such as goalkeeper and central defense. While Leon Goretzka is on the club's list, the club must first sell players before signing new ones.
Frenkie de Jong
Juventus Turin is monitoring Frenkie de Jong's situation, according to a report from SPORT on Thursday. The Spanish medium stated that a loan with an option to buy could be a considered formula and that some clubs do not see his injury as an insurmountable obstacle. A departure would also permit FC Barcelone to significantly lower its wage bill.
