Juventus eyes midfield reinforcements: Xhaka and Bissouma on Comolli's radar
Juventus is reportedly targeting both Bayer Leverkusen's Granit Xhaka and Tottenham's Yves Bissouma to bolster their midfield this summer. With new director Damien Comolli looking to fund acquisitions through player sales, the Serie A giants are exploring several options, including a potential €15-20 million move for Bissouma due to strong club relations.

Juventus is reportedly in the market for at least one new central midfielder this summer, and according to Italian sources Tuttosport and Gazzetta, two prominent names from European football are on their radar: Granit Xhaka and Yves Bissouma. The Bianconeri's new director, Damien Comolli, is actively working to reshape the squad, with player sales, notably Douglas Luiz, expected to finance these incoming transfers.

Granit Xhaka, the experienced Swiss international, is among the latest names linked with a move to the Allianz Stadium. Xhaka played for Arsenal between 2016 and 2023 before moving to Bayer Leverkusen in July 2023. In his inaugural season in Leverkusen, he was a crucial part of the squad that made history by winning the Bundesliga title, Bayer Leverkusen's first ever. His proven leadership and strong performances in a title-winning team make him an attractive prospect for Juventus. Xhaka has also reportedly held discussions with Juventus' Serie A rivals AC Milan.
Beyond Xhaka, Juventus's list of midfield targets is extensive and includes Sporting CP's Morten Hjulmand and Benfica's Florentino. However, the prospect of signing Yves Bissouma from Tottenham appears particularly viable. Gazzetta suggests that the excellent relationship between Comolli and his former club, Tottenham, could significantly facilitate a deal for the 28-year-old Malian midfielder. Bissouma is reportedly valued between €15 million and €20 million.

A potential transfer between Juventus and Tottenham "doesn't seem impossible," according to Gazzetta, as the Juventus director reportedly weighs the pros and cons of bringing the Spurs midfielder to Turin. Additionally, Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi is also being considered as a more budget-friendly option, given his reported €9 million release clause. As the transfer window progresses, it appears Juventus is keen on strengthening their midfield ahead of the new season.
