Juventus are in the market for a new forward, and according to Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport, they may begin looking in Ligue 1.
Corriere dello Sport understands that the Serie A side are looking to bring in a new forward, perhaps as early as January. One player targeted is Lille OSC’s Jonathan David. The Canada international has begun the season well with LOSC, however, there are doubts about his future. Whilst talks about a contract extension have reportedly taken place, there is currently no agreement to extend the current deal, which expires at the end of the campaign.
David is perhaps, therefore, a more realistic option if Juventus did into the market in the summer, however, if they were to do so in January, Stade Rennais’ Arnaud Kalimuendo would perhaps be a more likely option, as per Tuttosport. Thiago Motta is a fan of the France youth international and was already tracking him with a view to a move over the summer.
Kalimuendo had been expected to leave Rennes in the summer before ultimately remaining in Brittany, but Juventus are now showing significant interest with talks underway between the player’s entourage and between the two clubs.
