Juventus may look to strengthen their No. 9 position in 2025 to ensure a steady flow of goals upfront. One name making the rounds in transfer rumors is a promising striker who has yet to hit his full potential.

Dušan Vlahović has been a key player for the Bianconeri this season, scoring 11 goals and providing two assists in 19 appearances across all competitions. However, with his contract expiring in 2026 and no extension in place, his long-term future in Turin remains uncertain.

While Vlahović could still sign a new deal, Juventus might explore adding another striker to the squad. Fresh competition could motivate the Serbian to maintain his best form while also helping the team avoid any goal-scoring droughts in Serie A.

Juventus joins battle with top European clubs for young Greek talent

The Daily Mail (h/t Tutto Juve) reports that Manchester United are keeping an eye on young Olympiacos forward Charalampos Kostoulas ahead of the January transfer window.

Kostoulas is seen as one of Greece's top emerging talents, having impressed with the Under-19 national team last year and earned a promotion to the first team this season.

The 17-year-old's performances haven't gone unnoticed, with United showing interest last week. The Red Devils even sent scouts to watch him during the 0-0 draw between Olympiacos and Twente in the Europa League last Thursday.

However, the Premier League side are up against stiff competition for the player as Bayern Munich, Juventus, Fiorentina, and Borussia Mönchengladbach are also monitoring him. Additionally, the report claims that all of the clubs, except Bayern, sent representatives to watch the Greek Under-21 team.
