Juventus Eyeing Skriniar and Dragusin in January Transfer Hunt

Reports from Italy suggest that Juventus is targeting Milan Skriniar and Radu Dragusin for the January transfer window due to the serious injury to Gleison Bremer, who is expected to miss the 2025-26 season, creating a void in their defense.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, former Inter Milan defender Skriniar tops Juventus’ wishlist. However, it is noted that for this transfer to materialize, Juventus will need Paris Saint-Germain to subsidize part of Skriniar’s salary for the latter half of the 2024-25 season. This complicates matters, but the Bianconeri remain optimistic about securing his services.

In addition to Skriniar, reports from both Gazzetta and Tuttosport suggest that Radu Dragusin, currently at Tottenham, is emerging as another key target for sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and the Juventus management. The young defender is reportedly not getting significant playing time at Tottenham, which could make him open to a move. Juventus could pursue a loan deal with the intention of bringing in one of these two defenders in January.

Furthermore, as per Tuttosport, the club is also monitoring other defensive options. Players like Leo Ortiz from Flamengo, Adrian Ismajli of Empoli, and Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen have caught the attention of the Bianconeri’s scouting team. Among these names, Jonathan Tah appears particularly appealing given that his contract with Leverkusen expires in June. This factor may prompt Juventus to consider making a strategic investment during the January transfer window to secure his services before he becomes a free agent.

Such developments indicate that the club is taking a proactive approach in the transfer market, aiming to strengthen their defense amid injury crises while also planning for the future to ensure they remain competitive in Serie A and beyond. The combination of potential signings like Skriniar, Dragusin, and others could provide the depth and resilience needed for Juventus to navigate the second half of the season effectively.
