Juve monitoring Marseille’s striker

Juventus FC are already thinking seriously about next season, although—unlike AC Milan—they still need to fight to secure fourth place, as Como 1907 and AS Roma are not giving up. Qualification for the Champions League will determine a series of deals the “Old Lady” plans to pursue in England. The top target for the Turin club is Bernardo Silva. The Manchester City player is nearing the end of his contract and represents a valuable opportunity—despite being 32, he can still perform at a high level for another two or three years. The main obstacle is his salary, which Juventus can only justify if they secure Champions League football. Silva isn’t the only City player on Juventus’ radar. John Stones could join him, as his contract is also expiring and is unlikely to be renewed. But there is another striker who is of interest, and he was playing in the Premier League too.Juve are already preparing for title push next season – Alisson and Bernardo Silva targetedAccording to La Gazzetta del..
