Juventus has had a series of disappointments since the start of the transfer window. While the deal with PSG regarding Randal Kolo Muani is on hold, since the Parisians must first break the loan of one of their players abroad before sending the Frenchman to Italy, the arrival of Ronald Araújo also fell through, since the central defender should extend with Barça. To strengthen the defensive axis of Thiago Motta's team, Tuttosport claims the Turin leaders would have checked another name: that of Lloyd Kelly, who plays for Newcastle.
The Italian media explains that Cristiano Giuntoli, sporting director of the Old Lady and having officiated at Napoli until 2023, was already following the 26-year-old player among the residents of the Diego-Armando-Maradona stadium. To acquire the Englishman, the current 4th in Serie A would have offered a loan to the Magic. A proposal refused, since the British club would only like a transfer. The Bianconeri would then have made an offer of between 12 and 13 million, but the team chaired by Darren Eales would have asked for between 18 and 20. It remains to be seen whether the Italians will match this price.
