Juventus eye January move for Samardzic amid Inter second attempt

The summer transfer saga surrounding Lazar Samardzic and Juventus has taken an intriguing turn. After a dramatic reversal following medical examinations, the 21-year-old’s potential has once again brought him into the spotlight, catching the eye of Juventus.

According to reports from Sportmediaset, Juventus has expressed a keen interest in bringing Samardzic to Continassa. The Bianconeri are reportedly aiming for a possible acquisition as early as January, recognizing the young talent’s abilities and the value he could bring to the squad.

The move aligns with Juventus’ pressing need to fill the voids left by the departures of midfielders like Paul Pogba and Fagioli. Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus’ head coach, has highlighted the urgency to bolster the team’s midfield with quality, a requirement that Samardzic could potentially address.

Juventus’ entry into the Samardzic transfer pursuit has introduced an element of competition. Despite an earlier attempt by Inter, to secure the player, the Turin giants appear determined to make their move.

Udinese, the club currently in possession of Samardzic, initially anticipated the player’s departure during the summer transfer window, only to find him still in their squad when the season began.

This situation could work in their favor as they now have multiple suitors vying for the Serbian talent. It potentially offers Udinese an opportunity to negotiate a more advantageous deal, maximizing the value of their prized asset.

As the transfer market unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Juventus can successfully secure Lazar Samardzic’s services and add his promising talents to their midfield lineup.
