Juventus officials plan to keep a close eye bournemouth Forward Justin Kluivert at the World Cup this summer.
Gazzetta dello sport report The Dutch player is in the sights of Juventus as they plan to make changes to their squad in the coming months.
Bournemouth star added to list
The newspaper reports that Justin Kluivert has been added to Juventus' summer transfer shortlist. The Italian club plans to keep a close eye on him at the World Cup, where he will take part Ronald Koeman's Netherlands team.
The forward's 'rebirth' under Andoni Ierola at Bournemouth has not gone unnoticed. The Spaniard's decision to move him centrally resulted in a 'season above double figures' and a place in the Netherlands World Cup squad.
Juventus currently favor Real Madrid's Brahim Diaz, but Kluivert is an alternative option. In fact, he is 'ready to present himself' as a direct transfer rival to the Spaniard.
His work in the Premier League is already impressing but Juventus also value the fact that he has adjusted to Serie A.
serie a second chance
Although his time at Roma early in his career may have been disappointing, the feeling he left behind is now far behind. The 27-year-old player has proven himself in the Premier League. Now he may be ready to prove himself again in Serie A.
There is no mention yet of any attempt to get the transfer done. Or what assessment Bournemouth would give their player.
He is currently valued at €25m by the likes of Transfermarkt. The key could be his contract, which runs until 2028. It means this summer could be Bournemouth's last chance to secure a top fee before he enters the final year of his deal next summer.
For now, it seems that Juventus are simply considering him as an option. If he impresses at the World Cup, this option could become more solid.
