In recent weeks, the giant centre-forward has been constantly linked with a January, with Juventus now emerging as a potential destination.

According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà, Lucca’s agent, Beppe Riso, has offered him to the Bianconeri during a recent summit.

The idea was brought forward by the player’s representative while the two parties were discussing a potential move for Atalanta’s attacking midfielder, Daniel Maldini.

Do Juventus need a new striker in January?

While Pedullà believes there could be some important developments on this front from Monday onwards, other sources expect Juventus to delay their attacking plans until a later stage of January.

Luciano Spalletti has been able to rely on Jonathan David and Lois Openda upfront, while the club is awaiting important updates on Dusan Vlahovic’s condition.

The Serbian has reportedly been making important leaps in his rehabilitation process, which could pave the way for a return to the pitch by mid-February.

In this case, Juventus would adjourn their striker search until the summer, while focusing on bolstering other departments in January.
