Juventus January transfer window: Winsley Boteli & Georgiy Sudakov, Kalvin Phillips

A trio of updates on the plans of the transfer team at Juventus for the January window have come to the fore on Friday.

The info comes by way of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who has confirmed that Cristiano Giuntoli and his team are hard at work in a bid to add to Massimiliano Allegri’s squad with a view to the 2nd half of the term.

First up comes the latest on the Bianconeri’s ongoing pursuit of Manchester City star Kalvin Phillips.

Talks, it is understood, remain in full swing between the respective boards at the Allianz Stadium, and The Etihad, despite Newcastle United having positioned themselves in the fray for Phillips this week.

Next up comes confirmation that Juventus also remain keen on the services of Shakhtar Donetsk sensation Georgiy Sudakov.

Midfielder Sudakov has long been on the radar of the Old Lady, who view the Ukrainian youngster as a potential star in the making.

An official approach, in turn, has been made, albeit with Napoli having also identified the 21-year-old as a leading winter target.

It is also added that an unnamed club have already forwarded a considerable €35 million offer to Shakhtar for Sudakov.

Juve, though, are not done there, either.

This comes with Giuntoli and co. also working towards adding to the burgeoning crop of young talent currently plying their trade in Turin.

As per Fabrizio Romano, the Serie A heavyweights have begun working towards a deal for Borussia Monchengladbach starlet Winsley Boteli.

Swiss youth international Boteli has enjoyed a scintillating season to date, having found the net 17 times in 15 appearances for ‘Gladbach’s U19s.

With the German outfit preparing to offer their young frontman a new deal, Juventus are therefore ready to throw a spanner in the works, with a contract proposal of their own.
