Juventus are hoping to add more firepower to their attacking department over the summer transfer window, and Tuesday’s reports claim that youngster Vasilije Adzic could be the key to unlocking a deal for Lecce centre-forward Nikola Krstovic. 

With Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik increasingly likely to leave Juventus at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, and with no guarantees regarding Randal Kolo Muani’s future, the Old Lady are looking to add a couple of new attackers to their ranks. 

Reports Juventus seeking Krstovic deal with Adzic assistance

Tuesday’s reports claim that the Bianconeri will target three ‘big’ profile players to improve the overall quality of their starting XI, but Tuttosport suggest that they will also need alternative options up front if multiple strikers leave in the summer. 

For that reason, Krstovic has become an interesting option for the Bianconeri. The 25-year-old is already familiar with the style of play in Serie A, and has posted convincing numbers in a 17th-placed Lecce side, with 10 goals and three assists in the league so far in 2024-25. 

Tuttosport claims that if Juventus go in with an offer for Krstovic in the summer, then Lecce will seek a loan deal for 18-year-old Juventus talent Adzic, assuming that the Salentini stay up in Serie A.
