According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have opened preliminary talks to sign Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca in January.
The Bianconeri have only scored 27 goals in the opening 19 Serie A games of the season and are on the lookout for a new forward.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Scamacca is Massimiliano Allegri’s No.1 target, so Juventus will try to secure his services in January.
The Old Lady’s directors have already opened talks with Sassuolo, although the negotiation has ‘not begun officially.’
The two clubs are on good terms after the Manuel Locatelli deal in the summer. However, Sassuolo value Scamacca at €40m, while Juventus won’t offer more than €30-35m.
In addition to that, the Serie A giants are planning to sign the player on loan with an option or obligation to buy. Due to their financial situation, Juventus can’t afford big-money signings in January.
Scamacca returned to Sassuolo after a one-year spell at Genoa last term and has scored six goals in 19 Serie A appearances so far this season.

Yawn. Nothing is going to happen in Jan. Juve are cash strapped and Scamacca is not a goal machine… Might be compared to Morata but this isn’t the solution Juve need.
Who ??
Scamacca???
Better stay with Morata.
@Norata,he is a gud fit and has goals in him.he Is also clinical in front of compared to morata.i tink with time he will become a goal machine like haaland,wat I don’t no is if he can settle immediately into allegri system.but he is threat infront of goal n wud give kean n morata competition for places.fino alla fine
Look at Christian Vieri, learned his craft at various clubs and then exploded around 25/26 years old. Is he worth the gamble? Hell yeh!
I’d be willing to take a gamble on Scamacca. Technically sound, powerful enough to lead the line himself and an improving goal record.
I’d have Haaland and Vlahovic over him for sure, but at comfortably less than half the price Scamacca to play with Kean and Chiesa as a longer term strategy gives us more mobility and goal threat, also at less of a ridiculous wage bill.
A young Italian football player is always welcome to Juventus. 2022 should be a new chapter of Juventus consist of Italian players as the team’s core.
Jeesh, the guy is 22 Years Old. Far from the end product but he’ll get there.
He is Juve material all day.
