Juventus are considering a new striker as early as January, with Balogun's name frequently reappearing in transfer circles. The English centre-forward, who left Monaco for Everton in a €50 million deal, has not yet found a home due to medical problems. The Juventus club, however, is willing to consider an advantageous proposal for coach Massara and president Carnevali, in order to bring forward the purchase expected for next summer. If the deal were to conclude, Balogun would be an expensive but potentially decisive investment for the team's offensive department.
As an alternative, Juventus could focus on Alexander Sorloth, a German striker who has proven to have the physical characteristics required by Spalletti. Currently on loan at Real Madrid, Sorloth has had little playing time, but his presence could be useful for the Juventus team. The idea would be to borrow it for six months, in order to evaluate its performance before deciding on a possible definitive purchase.
In the meantime, Roma continues to work on the winter transfer market, with the aim of strengthening the offensive department. The Giallorossi club has already shown interest in Endrick, but the negotiation with Real Madrid was unsuccessful. President D'Amico is still trying to bring the young Brazilian to the club, but at the moment there are no concrete developments. Other candidates are William Gomes, a Brazilian from Porto, and Giorgi Kvernadze, a left winger from Frosinone. Kvernadze has already shown that he has a good impact in the league, with three goals and two assists, and Roma consider him a possible resource for the attacking department. However, the Portuguese club is not willing to sell him and has proposed to renew the player's contract, increasing the release clause to 80 million euros.
Roma have also looked at the midfield, with interest in Koné, who is still being sought by several European clubs. The Giallorossi club is monitoring Bakola, a player purchased by Sassuolo from Marseille for 10 million euros, who has already attracted the attention of Juventus and Milan. If Roma manage to convince the player to move, it could become a concrete proposal in the coming months.
In summary, Juventus is evaluating Balogun and Sorloth as possible offensive reinforcements, while Roma continues to look for a striker and an offensive winger to improve the quality of the department. The winter market promises to be eventful and next week could bring new discoveries and deals.
