Juventus, looking for a luxury replacement for Dušan Vlahović during the winter transfer window, seems to have several options in mind, including two particularly interesting names: Joshua Zirkzee and Georges Mikautadze.
According to ‘Tuttosport’, Juve, which is looking for a striker, would have several options in mind, including Joshua Zirkzee, currently in difficulty at Manchester United. The Dutch striker from Manchester United, who is struggling to find playing time this season, is the Bianconeri’s priority. Formerly of Parma and Bologna, he would therefore be an interesting reinforcement for Juve, looking for a profile capable of completing their attack. However, uncertainty surrounds his future at Manchester United, and a transfer or loan could be considered.
Georges Mikautadze, meanwhile, is another player Juventus would seriously consider. The Georgian international, who shone during Euro 2024, did not really find his place at Olympique Lyonnais after his return from loan, with only 4 starts and 2 goals in Ligue 1. This situation could encourage the Juve to look into a loan solution, with a purchase obligation of up to 20 million euros.
A Lyon doublet with Tagliafico?
This transfer could allow Mikautadze to regain playing time at a top club, while joining an OL teammate, Nicolas Tagliafico, at Juve. This dynamic could provide a favorable framework for the adaptation of the Georgian, while strengthening the attack of Juventus, which seeks to compensate for the absence of Vlahović.
In summary, Juventus seems to be preparing its offensive future well, with ongoing discussions concerning Zirkzee and Mikautadze, who could benefit from an interesting loan, or even a purchase option to strengthen the bianconero squad from January. To be continued…
