Juventus have reportedly drawn up an ambitious January transfer plan centred on signing out-of-favour players from Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool. The Turin club are targeting opportunities where elite talent is available at reduced prices due to limited game time, expiring contracts or tactical misfits at their current sides.

From Manchester United, Juventus are said to be monitoring several squad members whose futures at Old Trafford appear uncertain. These include players pushed down the pecking order by recent signings or emerging academy talents, as well as high-earning senior figures who could be moved on to ease United’s wage bill. The Italian side view these situations as a chance to add proven quality without paying typical Premier League premiums, especially if United are open to loans with options or obligations to buy.

Liverpool are understood to be the other main focus of Juventus’s strategy. The Serie A club are looking particularly closely at attacking and creative players who have struggled for consistent minutes under Jürgen Klopp amid intense competition for places. Juventus believe some of these footballers could be revitalised in a new environment and become immediate starters in Turin. Contract length and salary demands are key factors, with Juve hoping to strike deals that fit within their tighter post-pandemic budget.

The article explains that Juventus’s approach is shaped by financial restraint and a desire to rebuild intelligently rather than relying on blockbuster fees. By concentrating on Premier League surplus or unsettled players, they hope to secure high-level reinforcements while sharing risk through structured deals such as initial loans, performance-related clauses and staggered payments. The club’s recruitment team is prioritising versatility, resale potential and Champions League experience.

While no agreements are yet finalised, the piece stresses that Juventus have made United and Liverpool their top hunting grounds for this window and are prepared to move quickly if either English club signals a willingness to negotiate on price, terms or player inclusion in swap-style arrangements.
