Juventus Transfer News: Suzuki and Lucumì Near, Zirkzee Remains Top Target

The Bianconeri technical staff has prioritized reshaping the squad after evaluating multiple positions during the opening weeks of the transfer window. According to Calcissimo, the club has nearly filled its incoming slots in defense and goal, leaving the forward line as the final major puzzle piece for the Turin-based management.

The goalkeeping situation is on the verge of resolution through a multi-club operation involving Paris Saint-Germain. According to Calcissimo, PSG secured the purchase of Zion Suzuki from Parma for a reported fee of millions of euros before arranging to loan the Japan international goalkeeper directly to Juventus.

Medical examinations have already been scheduled by the Bianconeri medical staff, marking the final procedural hurdle before the player officially joins the squad. This transaction builds upon a developing operational relationship between Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus following previous dealings, such as the arrangement involving Randal Kolo Muani.

In the defensive department, Juventus has advanced negotiations with Bologna for center-back Jhon Lucumì after weeks of pursuit. According to Calcissimo, Bologna initially valued the Colombia international at millions of euros, rejecting an opening bid from Turin worth millions plus performance bonuses.

The two clubs have subsequently settled on a revised agreement valued at millions of euros. Lucumì is slated to receive a net annual salary of millions of euros, establishing himself as a core pillar in the club’s updated backline under the sporting direction.

With defensive and goalkeeping reinforcements nearly secured, technical operations are fully directed toward the attacking department. According to Calcissimo, Joshua Zirkzee remains the primary objective for the forward position, though discussions with Manchester United require further alignment on contract terms.

The English club has indicated a willingness to consider a temporary transfer structured with an obligatory purchase clause. Juventus management, however, prefers a loan deal containing conditional triggers rather than an automatic obligation to buy, creating the primary negotiation barrier.

Unlocking the final offensive signing is also tied to departures from the current squad. According to Calcissimo, interest from Premier League sides and Paris Saint-Germain—where sporting advisor Luis Campos maintains a strong appreciation for the player—could see Jonathan David depart, creating the necessary financial and roster space for Zirkzee’s arrival.

As Juventus schedules final medical tests for incoming acquisitions and refines its financial parameters with Manchester United, supporters await official club announcements regarding the closing weeks of the transfer window.
