Serie A giants Juventus are interested in signing French defender Tanguy Nianzou from La Liga side Sevilla.
After spending time in the academy at FC Epinay Athletico, Senart-Moissay and Fontainebleau, Tanguy Nianzou joined the youth setup at Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.
He then graduated from the PSG academy and was promoted to the main team. The defender spent a season in Paris before joining Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich on a free transfer.
Nianzou played two seasons in Germany and failed to establish himself as a starter in the Bayern Munich squad. So finally, the defender joining La Liga side Sevilla in the 2022 summer transfer window, Nianzou has represented France in many youth games. He was part of the France under-17 team that finished third in 2019.
Juventus planning a move for Nianzou
Now, according to Tuttomercatoweb, Juventus wants to strengthen its defense with the arrival of Sevilla Tanguy Nianzou.
After dominating Serie A for more than a decade, Juventus have not even managed to break into the top three in their last term. They have also had a bad start this season. Allegri’s team have managed to win only six of their first twelve matches. With twenty-two points, they are currently in seventh position in the table.
His performance in the UEFA Champions League has been even worse. The Bianconeri lost five of their six league group games. As a result, they have been eliminated from the UCL and will participate in the Europa League later this season.
Now the Juventus management understands its position very well. He wants to strengthen his squad in the coming windows with the arrival of quality players.
Tanguy Nianzou, 20, is currently one of the best young defenders in the world. Juventus reportedly want to add him as a long-term option. But signing him will not be an easy task for the Bianconeri.
Sevilla lost two of their main defenders at the start of the season. And then they signed Nianzou as a starter. So far the defender has been very solid. He has a long contract with Sevilla that runs until 2027.
So Juventus will have to pay a lot of money to get their transfers. Now in financial trouble, they will first have to get rid of some players before making any offers to the Spanish side.
Juventus will face Inter Milan in their next game.
