In the latest revelations from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are plotting a big move in the winter transfer window, with AC Milan's Tonali undoubtedly at the top of their list. Juventus are desperate to finalize the deal in January next year to solidify their midfield and combat the possible loss of a Champions League spot.
Juventus' management had a heated discussion at an emergency meeting on Monday, with Tonali's name being mentioned frequently, while strategies to raise funds were also discussed in detail. It is believed that they will need at least €55 million to bring Tonali on board, and to do so, they are considering youngsters Fagioli and Yildiz as trade chips. Ildiz is estimated to be worth between €35 and €40 million, and this money is crucial for Juventus.
In addition to the midfield, Juventus is also intent on bringing in a top defender to shore up the defense. At the meeting, Paris Saint-Germain's Shkriniar was once again in the spotlight, as he has been interested in leaving Paris and is willing to accept a pay cut. If he can join, Juventus will be able to send Danilo away, although the latter refused to participate in any kind of transfer exchange. Danilo's contract is about to expire and there are several foreign teams interested in him.
It's worth noting that Danilo is a jewel in the eyes of Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte, who was eager to bring him into the fold during his Chelsea days. Danilo's versatility allows him to play in multiple defensive positions, and his team spirit and defensive skills are equally impressive. However, Juventus are currently facing a problem with Danilo's unwillingness to leave the club, which may bring about a change in their transfer strategy.
