Juventus are preparing to strengthen their attacking department during the January transfer window, an objective that has been in the focus of the managers for a long time. The Italian club aims to find the right players to increase the quality of the team and improve the results in the second half of the season. For this reason, Juventus has compiled a shortlist of possible names that can fill the gaps in the advanced department.

One of the main targets of the Whites is Joshua Zirkzee. The 22-year-old is a player that coach Thiago Motta knows very well, having had him under his guidance last season at Bologna. The Dutch striker, currently part of Manchester United, has not yet managed to adapt to the English club's style of play and has had few spaces to display. A move to Juventus could be a golden opportunity to revive his career and contribute to the Italian team's goals.

However, Zirkzee is not the only name Juventus are following closely. Kolo Muani, the French striker who currently plays for PSG, is also on the radar of the white-and-white club. Coach Luis Enrique does not consider him an important starter, and this has made the player think about a possible departure. For Kolo Muani, a move to Juventus would represent an opportunity to regain continuity and show his potential in a tough league like Serie A.

Despite the great interest, reaching an agreement for Kolo Muani seems a difficult challenge for Juventus. PSG bought the striker just a year ago for a whopping €90 million, and the French club don't seem willing to accept a low bid. Moreover, the player's high salary, about 7 million euros per season, is another big obstacle for the "Old Lady".

The sporting director of Juventus, Giuntoli, will have to show all his skills to negotiate a favorable agreement. Options such as a loan with the right to purchase or the inclusion of additional clauses could be solutions that will become part of the club's strategy to secure the services of one of these players.
