Juventus eye PSV Eindhoven's two American standouts to bolster attack, midfield
By Eduardo Razo
Juventus could be adding more Americans to their squad, as one report suggests that two players are on their radar. Although the summer transfer window has come and gone, clubs are now preparing to monitor certain players for future windows.
The Old Lady improved their wing position this past summer, but improving the No. 9 position appears to be the next step in the Thiago Motta project. Recently, Juventus have been linked to LOSC Lille standout Jonathan David.
According to a recent report, David is the object of desire of several teams and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, who has identified him as an alternative to Dušan Vlahović.
Another No. 9 target emerges?
Juventus are reportedly looking at another striker from the Concacaf region as TuttoSport reported on Monday that PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi is on the Serie A club's radar.
The 21-year-old has been with PSV since 2023 and has appeared in 44 matches across all competitions. During his time with the Dutch side, he has scored 10 goals and registered three assists. Moreover, Pepi isn't the only player on PSV that the Italian side would be keen on.
Midfielder Malik Tillman is also on Juventus' radar, per TuttoSport. The 22-year-old has made 44 appearances for PSV, scoring 11 goals and registering 17 assists across all competitions.
Juventus already have Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah on their squad, but there's a chance that more Americans could join if they are players who fit what manager Thiago Motta wants for this project.
