Juventus eye Miranda: Spalletti wants him in January

Juventus are looking to Bologna to strengthen their left flank: Juan Miranda, the Spanish full-back who has been impressing with high-level performances and impressive numbers, has caught the attention of the Juventus hierarchy.

With six assists already at the start of this league campaign, he leads Serie A's assist charts and has attracted Juventus' interest ahead of the next transfer window, according to Tuttosport. Luciano Spalletti particularly likes him as he looks for a left-footed wide player who can offer quality, attacking drive and options going forward. Premier League side Newcastle and AC Milan are also reportedly interested in him. AC Milan previously had the chance to sign him on a free transfer but did not complete the deal.

Bologna, meanwhile, are moving to protect their position. Miranda's contract expires in 2028 and the club have already opened talks over a renewal, but have yet to reach an agreement. That could give Juventus an opening, particularly next summer.

As early as January, Juventus could try to get ahead of the competition with a move for Miranda. Spalletti considers him the right man for Juventus.
