Key Takeaways:
- Juventus has identified Sergej Milinković-Savić as a primary midfield target for January, according to “Tuttosport”
- The club previously prioritised attacking signings in the summer, such as Jonathan David, Loïs Openda, and Edon Zhegrova
- Sporting Lisbon captain Morten Hjulmand remains under Juventus’ consideration for a potential summer move
Midfield Reinforcements a Priority for Juventus
Juventus are set to strengthen their midfield during the January transfer window, with the club’s management recognising a disparity in quality compared to Serie A rivals. As reported by “Tuttosport”, the Turin side have once again turned their attention to Sergej Milinković-Savić, who currently plays for Al Hilal and is a former Lazio standout.
❗🇷🇸 JUST IN: Sergej Milinković-Savić (30) is attracting interest from several European clubs. His contract with Al Hilal runs until 2026.

Milinković-Savić Remains a Key Target
Director Damien Comolli is leading the efforts to secure a new central midfielder, and Milinković-Savić is at the top of his shortlist. The Serbian international has been pursued by Juventus for several transfer windows, with Comolli and Tudor believing he could be crucial in closing the gap to competitors such as Inter, Milan, and Napoli.
Summer Transfer Activity Focused Elsewhere
During the previous transfer window in the summer, Juventus’ recruitment primarily bolstered their attacking options. The club brought in Jonathan David, Loïs Openda, and Edon Zhegrova, alongside right-back João Mário, rather than reinforcing the midfield department at that stage.
Other Targets Still Under Consideration
Although Juventus continues to monitor Sporting Lisbon’s captain, Morten Hjulmand, he is regarded as a more likely addition for the summer rather than as an immediate winter solution.
