Juventus is accelerating its offensive transfer window. A few hours after formalizing the departure of Dusan Vlahovic, the Turin club completed the arrival of Jeff Ekhator from Genoa according to La Gazzetta Dello Sport. The 19-year-old Italian striker has already undergone his medical examination in Turin before committing to a transfer estimated at 18 million euros. In the opposite direction, left back David Puczka joins Genoa for around 5 million euros. Despite this reinforcement, the Old Lady does not intend to stop there and is actively continuing its search for another center forward.

The priority remains Randal Kolo Muani. Discussions with Paris Saint-Germain have intensified in recent days and Turin leaders hope to find an agreement before the resumption of training scheduled for July 13. If the French international no longer appears in Luis Enrique’s plans, PSG favors a permanent transfer, valued at at least 40 million euros, bonus included. To bring the positions closer together, Juventus is studying a new formula with a more expensive loan accompanied by an obligation to purchase at the end of the season. This solution could satisfy both clubs and allow Kolo Muani to find Turin.
