Juventus is looking for reinforcements for Tudor’s right flank. Many names are on Damien Comolli’s notebook: from Norton-Cuffy, revelation of this Serie A, to Molina, already sought in the summer.

Midfield and right flank, these are the 2 priorities identified by Juventus in the market. Although there are more than 2 months left until the official opening of the winter transfer window, the Bianconeri management is moving to strengthen the squad available to Igor Tudor. In particular, the Croatian coach has requested the addition of a new winger for the right flank, a fundamental role in the coach’s 3-4-2-1 formation. So far, the arrival of Joao Mario has not fully convinced, and Juventus is looking around for possible opportunities.

On Damien Comolli’s notebook, there is certainly the name of Brooke Norton-Cuffy, right-back of Genoa. Graduated in the summer as champion at the U21 European Championship with England, the full-back, who came up through the ranks of Arsenal, arrived in Genoa last season but has stood out in this first part of the season under Patrick Vieira‘s guidance.

Becoming the starting right-back for the Grifone, the Englishman is one of the few positive notes of the Ligurian team’s season start. Impressing with convincing performances, the 2004 class player stands out for his physical and running abilities. Juventus is closely monitoring his growth and has already requested information from the Rossoblu, who value the player at 15 million euros.

However, Genoa’s intention is not to part with Norton-Cuffy during the current season, aware that his value is destined to increase further. Therefore, discussions are postponed until June, with Juventus trying to work towards obtaining a sort of preemption.

Juventus, looking for a full-back: names for January

But Juventus feels the need to intervene in the winger department already in January. And that’s why Comolli is also exploring other names, preferably those who can come to Turin on a loan basis. At the top of Juventus’ list is the name of Nahuel Molina from Atletico Madrid.

Already sought by Juventus in the summer as a possible piece in the Nico Gonzalez deal, the Argentine ultimately chose to stay in Spain. A decision that is not paying off in terms of playing time at the moment: little considered by Cholo, the former Udinese player has made 7 appearances so far this season, but only one as a starter. Juventus would be willing to take him if the Colchoneros were open to a loan with a purchase option.

The other names on the list are those of Jonathan Clauss from Nice and Aarnau Martinez from Girona.
