Juventus is tracking Italy striker in Saudi Arabia
Juventus want to sign one more striker, with Jonathan David and Arkadiusz Milik expected to leave the club before the transfer window closes because Luciano Spalletti is not counting on them.
The Bianconeri have already lost Dusan Vlahovic and Lois Openda in this window, while adding Randal Kolo Muani and Jeff Ekhator to their squad as they look to strengthen it.

Kolo Muani is probably the only striker who can make the team better immediately, as Ekhator does not yet have the experience to be one of the top players in the group.
Juve have now identified Mateo Retegui as the striker they want to sign, with Spalletti agreeing with the club's plans to bring the striker back to Serie A this summer.
Retegui emerges as Juventus target
Retegui now plays for Al Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League, but he remains one of the finest strikers Italy has produced and would love to return to Europe if the opportunity arises. However, he earns a significant amount of money in the Pro League, which could make a move more complicated.

Juventus see Retegui as a player who could strengthen their attack, particularly if David and Milik leave the club. His experience and previous knowledge of Italian football could also help him settle quickly if he returns to Serie A.
The Bianconeri therefore have a clear target in mind, but their ability to complete the move could depend on their outgoing business. They need to offload David and Milik before they can create the necessary space for another striker.
Juventus prepare for another move
Juve are now looking to sign Retegui, according to Football Italia , and they will do their best to add him to their squad if the opportunity opens up.

The striker is reportedly excited about the possibility of playing for the Bianconeri, which could help Juventus if they decide to push ahead with the transfer. However, his current salary in Saudi Arabia could still present an obstacle.
Spalletti appears to be in agreement with Juventus' plans, and the club will now hope to complete their departures before making a serious move for Retegui. If they can do so, the Italian could become another important addition to their attack before the transfer window closes.
