Juventus added Federico Chiesa, Weston McKennie, and Arthur Melo this summer, but they are still chasing more great players around Europe for 2021.

Juventini have many reasons to be excited about the future in Turin after a busy summer transfer window. Federico Chiesa and Weston McKennie, if both are signed permanently, have the potential to be star players for Juventus in the coming years. And Arthur Melo was a prized acquisition in midfield, acquired in a trade with Barcelona involving Miralem Pjanic.

But still, Juventus want more. They have shown interest in Houssem Aouar, who would be a dream target in midfield. Aouar can add attacking class to Juve’s midfield that even Adrien Rabiot and Arthur don’t quite have.

They aren’t stopping there, though. According to a report from Tuttsoport, via Calciomercato.com, Juventus are showing interest in Rennes center midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.

The 17-year-old is the world’s best young midfielder and has the quality to become a Ballon d’Or winner one day. His performances for club and country, most recently, have been astounding, and the progress made in his attacking game has been evident this season.

Juventus won’t be favorites for Eduardo Camavinga

Per WhoScored.com, Camavinga is completing 90 percent of his passes this season with 1.6 dribbles completed per game, 1.6 fouls drawn per game, and an average of one key pass in each match. Defensively, his numbers are a bit lower from last season, but he is still averaging nearly three tackles per game.

Juventus have already done business with Rennes, loaning struggling center back Daniele Rugani, who does have bounce-back potential, to the Ligue 1 side.

Camavinga is the dream target of all dream targets due to his potential and all-around class. Juve will have stiff competition for him, as Real Madrid are huge favorites and Ligue 1’s biggest club, PSG, will also be in the mix.

But it’s important for the Bianconeri to make an attempt to sign Camavinga. They need to be involved in the race to sign top transfer targets. And while it is a difficult mission, nothing is impossible when it comes to football transfers for a club with Juve’s resources.
