Juventus is monitoring 21-year-old midfielder Matthieu Epolo from Liege as they participate in their pre-season tour, according to reports in Tuttosport. Epolo, valued at approximately €8 million, has demonstrated significant growth, particularly during the last season, making him an attractive prospect for the Turin club.
The Bianconeri will face Liege next week, providing a direct opportunity to assess Epolo’s capabilities. Juventus is also keeping tabs on Mortensen, a 22-year-old left-back from Norway’s emerging generation of talent. Other players attracting attention include Cho, a right-winger from Nice, although his rising cost may prove prohibitive for Juventus. The club is also scouting central defenders Mendy (2004) of Senegal and Oppong (2004), the latter of whom has garnered significant support from Ghanaian fans.
Juventus’s pre-season tour also includes matches against Chelsea, presenting further opportunities to evaluate players potentially available for transfer. Trevoh Chalobah is a target, though he is also attracting interest from Como and Inter. Badiashile remains a long-standing interest, while Josh Acheampong could be a useful addition following the arrival of a new coach. The club intends to showcase its own players during these matches, including Bremer, despite the player’s reported reluctance to leave unless a top club makes an offer.
Several players are expected to depart Juventus, including Cabal and potentially Rouhi. Joao Mario could finalize a move to Fiorentina sooner than anticipated. Players like Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz will be assessed by coach Spalletti, while Miretti is valued at around €15 million. The future of Juventus’s attacking options remains uncertain, with limited opportunities expected for David, and attention focused on Lois Openda and Edon Zhegrova, both of whom could be sold to fund other acquisitions.
