Determined to improve the performance of its attack during the winter transfer market, Juventus are keeping three players in their sights who are liked by the coaching staff and the board.
Among them, the Canadian Jonathan David is not included, as the club has no more places available for non-EU players.
The Bianconeri have outlined their key objectives for the upcoming winter transfer window.
They are in search of a striker who can support Serbian Dusan Vlahovic while they await the return of the injured Arkadiusz Milik.
As reported by CalcioMercato.it, Arnaud Kalimuendo is at the forefront of the club’s interests.
The 22-year-old French forward has been performing well with Rennes, who are unlikely to let him go for less than €20 million.
Given this hefty price tag, Juventus may consider negotiating a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
Other names
Other potential targets include two Serie A players: Frenchman Ange-Yoan Bonny (21) and Italian Lorenzo Lucca (24).
Bonny has been making a name for himself at Parma, contributing three goals and one assist in 10 matches, while Lucca has been a vital player for Udinese, netting six goals in 11 appearances. Securing either of them will prove to be a challenging and costly endeavor.
Jonathan David is not currently on the list of short-term targets.
The Canadian is highly regarded by the board and coaching staff, but Juventus does not have any more place to register non-EU players at the moment.
However, if the striker continues to not renew his contract with Lille, his signing would be considered again in the summer.
