Juventus are considering a move for Bologna forward Mark Arnautovic as they bid to completely overhaul their frontline in the summer, according to reports.
Paulo Dybala and Federico Bernardeschi will leave the Allianz Stadium this summer, while Juve appear to have told Atletico Madrid they will not pay the agreed €35 million fee to make Alvaro Morata’s move permanent and Moise Kean could also be on his way out.
It means head coach Massimiliano Allegri will be in the market for at least one new attacker to play alongside Dusan Vlahovic.
And Il Corriere dello Sport report Austria international Arnautovic is one of the possibilities.
The 33-year-old enjoyed a positive 2021-22 campaign with 14 goals in Serie A – including one in the 1-1 draw in Turin against Juve in April.
He was a surprise signing for Bologna in the first place, having been with Chinese club Shanghai Shanghai Port for the past three seasons.
Arnautovic was part of the Inter side which won the Treble in 2009-10 but only made three appearances that campaign.

If Morata and Kean go, then Juve need two forwards. This guy might be useful, but I would also be going for something different to both Vlahovic and Arnautovic – Raspadori would fit that bill.
Juve can play 4-3-3 with Chiesa Velahovic and either di-maria or soule if they managet o aquire Pogba who can decently play as an attacking midfielder who is inclined toward playing the left side of the pitch and Locatteli and or Zakaria as midfielders who lean towards the right side of the pitch . Keeping either Morata or Kean as a sub isn’t a bad idea either. Kean is physically competent although not very clinical at goal but that can improve.

Wow – the ignorance and stupidity is on another level with that comment
Good move for him and PhD Max as he fits the criteria of being over 30. Maybe still a bit too young for Project Slow Ball. What happened to Raspadori was inevitable. He is 20 years too young for Feng Shui Max and lets hope the young man goes to say Milan. At least Pioli will give youngsters a chance.
Hahahaha… Juve are building a team according to their 1970-80’s standards to win Serie A physically with no success in CL!
Rather juve get Cavani; – fitter and better
That Kean comment should be removed. Plus Kean should leave because he is the most disrespected player on that team. How can you say a player is a flop when he mostly comes off the bench playing only 10 to 15 mins. If anything for me Morata was the Flop. He started and played more games. Kean needs some chances.
Morata has been great. Kean has been awful.
Regardless of playtime, his movement on the pitch and the way he controls the ball are terrible.
It’s simple answer…. Juventus should not let leave Dybala…. Dybala is better than any other player that will arrive in Juve… Also Bernardeschi should stay.
