Juventus target Bissouma and Xhaka for midfield rebuild

    Key Takeaways:

  • Juventus are targeting Yves Bissouma and Granit Xhaka for a midfield overhaul
  • Bissouma could be available for £17M with one year left on his Spurs deal
  • Xhaka is also wanted by Milan despite strong interest from Juventus

Juventus are planning a major overhaul of their midfield ahead of the new season. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri have set their sights on two well-known Premier League figures – Tottenham’s Yves Bissouma and former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka.

Xhaka, who now plays for Bayer Leverkusen, is also being closely monitored by AC Milan. Despite the competition, Juventus have added the Swiss international to their shortlist of transfer targets. The club is preparing for the likely departure of Douglas Luiz, who has been heavily linked with a move back to the Premier League.

Bissouma, currently with Tottenham, is another name on Juve’s radar. His contract with the London side runs until 2026, but Spurs could be tempted to sell him this summer. Reports suggest a potential transfer fee in the region of £17 million (€20 million) for the former Brighton midfielder.
