As we all know, Juventus have a knack for signing Fiorentina stars. The tense rivalry between the two sides rarely gets in the way of a good deal.
Last January, the Bianconeri stole the limelight when they seized the services of Dusan Vlahovic in a major coup. The Serbian joined an illustrious list of players who made the leap from Florence to Turin, but he will certainly not be the last.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus hopes to acquire the services of Igor Julio already in the next transfer session in January.
The source believes management will be looking to bolster Max Allegri’s ranks with two signings. The first would be a left back, and the second a central defender.
Apparently, the Brazilian’s name is high on the old lady’s shortlist for the central defender role. The report ensures that the club had already made some contact with the player’s environment last summer.
Furthermore, the 24-year-old put on an impressive display during the two sides’ last meeting in Florence. The fact that he is left-handed is another trait that further helps his cause.
The former Spal and RB Salzburg defender joined Viola in 2020 and has a contract with the Tuscan club until 2024.
While Juventus were previously looking for defensive partner Nikola Milenkovic, the latter linked his future with Fiorentina by signing a long-term deal.
