Juventus is closely monitoring Santiago Ese as an option to strengthen the midfield and is also looking for reinforcements in goal. According to market reports, the amount Olympiacos is reportedly demanding for a potential transfer is 25 million euros, and the club will not negotiate unless a proposal starts from 20 million euros. A journalist who analyzes football in Italy, Giannis Giannoulas, stated it is certain that Juventus wants more solutions in midfield. Giannoulas said he does not know if Juventus will meet the 23-25 million euro valuation, unless the club opts for a loan with an obligatory purchase option for the summer of 2027.
