Juventus are taking advantage of the extended international break to fine-tune their list of transfer targets for the coming two transfer windows, states Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian media said: “An envoy who works close to Luciano Spalletti,” the manager of Juventus, was present at the match between Netherlands and Germany to see both Liverpool captain Van Dijk and Sunderland’s Brian Brobbey.
”Van Dijk is among the ‘free agents’ being evaluated at Continassa – also including Fikayo Tomori, Mateo Kovacic, and David Raum,” reads the report.
”His qualities aren’t in doubt, but Juventus (and many other top European clubs) are focusing on the fitness of the centre-back, who has won everything in his nine seasons at Anfield.
”Van Dijk would bring charisma and a winning streak, characteristics Spalletti has been pursuing for months for his Juventus. The Dutchman could become a prospect should Gleison Bremer, who is courted by English clubs in every transfer window, be sacrificed this summer.”
On Brobbey, – ”The Sunderland forward’s name is on their list, with the manager’s full approval. The striker’s price tag could be around €40 million, nothing impossible on paper.”
However, Van Dijk’s current contract will come to an end by the close of the current season.
As per Turin-based publication Tuttosport, Juventus’ scouting department did not stop there.
The publication claims that the Bianconeri are also looking at the Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, whose contract comes to an end in the current season.

”The first (target) is Alisson, who (Juve director Frederic) Massara and Spalletti got to know closely in Rome,” Tuttosport writes.
”He will turn 35 in October 2027, but his performance hasn’t suffered; quite the opposite. He’s still among the top 10 goalkeepers in the world, and in recent months he had spoken directly with Lucio about joining Juventus.
”Then, Liverpool, lacking leadership, chose to secure him. The Brazilian is a goalkeeper worth considering on a free transfer: with a salary reduced from his current salary with The Reds, he could represent an opportunity.”
