While Dušan Vlahović is still on the sidelines and his contract will expire next June, Juventus is trying as best they can to strengthen themselves. For this, the Turin club has multiplied the avenues during this winter transfer window. The names of Youssef En-Nesyri and, more recently, Mauro Icardi have been cited as potential targets of the Old Lady. That of the former Inter Milan player has come back insistently in recent hours. However, according to Giorgio Chiellini, this is not the case.

Dušan will return soon, as he suffered a significant injury. We have always sought to find a striker who has his characteristics, depending on the financial situation of the club. (Mauro) Icardi was a suggestion, but there is nothing more and I think I can exclude this possibilityindicated the international relations manager for the Turin club, DAZN Italia before Parma-Juventus in Serie A this Sunday. We are waiting to see what other names have been mentioned. If we succeed, great, otherwise we know that we have other players at our disposal and that Dusan will be back in a month and a half. We wait. We evaluated (Jean-Philippe) Mateta, but we decided not to pursue it due to cost, with all due respect to an important player. Kolo Muani, on the other hand, is a Tottenham player, that’s the truth. »
