In the wake of a double blow to their midfield (Pogba, Fagioli) Juventus is actively in pursuit of reinforcements.
In light of the recent suspension of Paul Pogba due to a doping violation and disciplinary actions taken against Nicolรฒ Fagioli for his involvement in illegal betting platforms, Juventus is urgently seeking solutions to bolster its squad.
Reports from various sources in Italy now suggest that the club has shifted its focus to English midfielder Kalvin Phillips, currently under contract at Manchester City. The potential availability of Phillips for a January transfer has gained traction, primarily due to his limited playing time at the Etihad Stadium since his move from Leeds United.
Juventus is reportedly considering a loan deal until the end of the season, coupled with an option to buy, as the most suitable arrangement to secure Phillips. While negotiations are said to be underway, no formal discussions have taken place between the two clubs at this stage.
Kalvin Phillips‘ possible arrival at Juventus could significantly address the club’s pressing need for strengthening their midfield options. Known for his robust presence and versatility in the center of the park, Phillips could provide the Bianconeri with much-needed depth and quality. His defensive abilities make him an attractive choice for the Italian giants.
The outcome of these negotiations could have a significant impact on Juventus’ midseason squad strengthening as they seek to overcome recent setbacks and bolster their midfield options.
