Juventus have reportedly set their sights on former Tottenham loanee Palhinha, as the Serie A giants look to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
According to a report from Tuttosport (via Football Italia), the Bianconeri are monitoring the situation of the midfielder, who previously had a spell on loan at Tottenham Hotspur. The player, known simply as Palhinha, is now attracting interest from the Turin-based club as they plan for a busy summer transfer window.
Juventus' Midfield Reinforcement Plans
With the new campaign on the horizon, Juventus are keen to add depth to their midfield. Director Giovanni Carnevali recently admitted that certain high-profile targets like Franck Kessie and Brahim Diaz were out of reach, forcing the club to explore alternative options. Palhinha's name has now emerged as a viable candidate, according to Tuttosport.
The Bianconeri have been scouting several players across Europe, with the ex-Tottenham loanee fitting the profile of a dynamic midfielder who could thrive in Serie A.
Palhinha's Career Path After Spurs
Palhinha's time at Tottenham was short-lived, as he struggled for first-team opportunities during his loan spell. Since then, the player has worked to rebuild his career, impressing at his subsequent clubs and earning recognition as a reliable midfield presence. His performances have now caught the attention of Juventus scouts, who see him as a potential bargain in the market.
Negotiations are still in the early stages, and it remains to be seen whether his current club would be willing to sanction a move. For now, the interest is concrete, and Juventus are expected to monitor his progress in the coming weeks.
