Juventus have been tracking Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Georgiy Sudakov for an extended period, but the Ukrainian talent could head to another Serie A club.
Sudakov has attracted attention as one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe due to his impressive performances for both club and country. Following the absences of Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba, rumors circulated that Juventus were interested in acquiring him.
While Juventus have been considering Sudakov as a valuable target, they have been slow to step up their interest. Meanwhile, Napoli have entered the race to sign Sudakov. Napoli recently sold Eljif Elmas to RB Leipzig and are in need of a replacement, with Sudakov identified as a suitable candidate.
Calciomercato reports that Napoli see Sudakov as the ideal player for the position and are determined to secure his signature. Juventus now face a situation where they must act quickly if they really want to add Sudakov to their team, as Napoli appear willing to compete for his signature.
Juve FC says
We have been linked with a move for Sudakov for a long time, but mere interest does not count, and we have to show that we are serious by contacting the player and his club to negotiate a transfer.
