Juventus pursues deputy Vlahovic in January: contacts for Lucca of Udinese

No negotiations officially open, no offers on the table from Udinese. But the name of Lorenzo Lucca it’s one of those later on the shortlist of Juventus in view of the next January market. The conditions of the possible negotiation, however, will be important: the Old Lady does not want (can) go beyond a loan for the next session, possibly setting a redemption in the summer. The player’s willingness to negotiate and sit at a table is there, it remains to understand what the will of Pozzo’s club will be and the figures that it will ask for in this case. But if we talk about shortlists and targets in their sights, without a doubt Lucca is a name that Juventus is ready to negotiate.

From the explosion in Holland to the rebirth in Udine
In recent days the Udinese ram, 4 goals in 13 games this season under the guidance of Mr. Runjaic, spoke to Repubblica describing his young career so far. From D to Udinese via Holland and Ajax. The center forward born in 2000 found his stability in Friuli and spoke about himself starting from the ranks: “A choice entirely mine. I wanted space to grow. And on the provincial pitches I understood that I could really be a footballer. I would do it again. And there I also thought it was right to move to Palermo in Serie D, but on the last day of the transfer window it didn’t go as I had hoped, did the coach understand me badly? Sassuolo and from abroad I had no doubts, and my agent Beppe Riso agreed. I did well, they welcomed me very well.”

How is Milik?
Juve seems determined to sign a deputy Dusan Vlahovic, also because Arkadiusz Milik’s condition continues to be unconvincing. Soon completely in the group, the idea is that the Pole’s return to competitive level will be set within a month. Milik has been out of action for five months, the hypothesis is to see him on the pitch at the beginning of 2025. A long wait, perhaps too long, which also speaks of a need to find an alternative to Vlahovic, also because given the Juventus is not sure they can count on the former Napoli striker in the long term (and with such a busy calendar).
