A sensational transfer market development has emerged from Spain concerning Juventus’ interest in Barcelona’s Dutch midfielder, Frenkie de Jong.
According to the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Juventus are keen on securing de Jong’s services as early as the January transfer window.
The Dutch midfielder has reportedly become a key target for the Italian giants, who are eager to bolster their midfield options for the second half of the season.
A source from Mundo Deportivo said, “Juventus are actively pursuing de Jong, as they believe his skills will seamlessly fit into their tactical setup.”
This pursuit of de Jong comes as no surprise, given Juventus’ ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad under their current manager.
Barcelona, however, are likely to be reluctant to part with one of their key players mid-season.
The same source added, “Barcelona have no immediate plans to sell de Jong, but a significant offer from Juventus could potentially change their stance.”
As the January window approaches, football fans will be keeping a close watch on developments, eager to see if de Jong will make the move from Catalonia to Turin.
