Juventus is reportedly targeting Granit Xhaka to bolster their midfield lineup. Xhaka, a Swiss midfielder currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen, has expressed interest in a transfer, especially following Xabi Alonso's exit from Bayer. In the past, he was nearly transferred to Milan. Despite Xhaka turning 33 in September, Juventus is considering him due to his consistent performance and extensive experience. The transfer fee is set at 15 million euros, although it is subject to negotiation. Reports suggest that Xhaka is seeking a net salary of 3.5 million euros per season. According to Tuttosport, Juventus's pursuit of Xhaka depends on their ability to offload some of their existing midfielders, with Douglas Luiz being a particular focus.

Juventus is reportedly interested in signing Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen to strengthen their midfield. According to sources, the club considers Xhaka a functional and low-cost option. It is estimated that the transfer fee required to convince Bayer Leverkusen could range between 12-15 million euros. Juventus aims to enhance their squad's midfield capabilities and regards Xhaka's experience and international stature as valuable assets. This news was reported by Gazzetta dello Sport. The club is said to be determined to rebuild the "engine" of Igor Tudor's team, having already targeted Xhaka following Milan's interest in recent weeks. Juventus's previous efforts to overhaul their midfield were deemed insufficient, leading to a renewed focus on bolstering the squad, potentially alongside other targets like Davide Frattesi. Xhaka, at 32, is viewed as a seasoned leader, credited with leading Bayer Leverkusen to a German championship in 2023.
