Juventus just bought Jeff Ekhator from Genoa, but the word around Turin is he could be loaned out already. Yeah, you heard that right, a loan, even if he just got here. It all hinges on Mateo Pellegrino from Parma.
The Striker Merry-Go-Round
This striker search for the Bianconeri is wild! Luciano Spalletti’s side looked far from complete after that 0-0 friendly draw against FC Basel yesterday, and they need a forward. Pellegrino from Parma is their latest target, especially with those Randal Kolo Muani talks with Paris Saint-Germain stalling again. La Gazzetta dello Sport even suggests an exchange of loans between Ekhator and Pellegrino to keep costs down. So, a guy we just signed, Ekhator, could be gone fast. What a move!
The Future Is Owusu
But there’s a massive bright spot. Augusto Owusu, the 21-year-old, totally impressed Spalletti during pre-season training. He’s getting promoted from the Next Gen team straight to the senior squad this season, replacing Fabio Miretti. This kid, born right in Turin, came up through the Bianconeri youth academy and hit Next Gen in 2024. He’s a “cheap investment” according to reports, but he feels like pure gold. Get ready to see him shine!
The pre-season might just be starting, but the transfer drama is already in full swing. Will Pellegrino arrive? Will Ekhator be loaned out? And how big of an impact will Owusu make? You know I’ll be watching every kick!
