According to Calciomercato have turned to Brighton’s O’Riley and ‘s Yves Bissouma as alternatives after moves for Tonali and Hjumland fell through. Brighton, who signed O’Riley from in 2024 for €30 million (£25m/$35m), are open to a loan deal with an obligation to buy.

Juventus aim to strengthen their midfield around Italian star Manuel Locatelli. Their top target was ‘s Hjulmand, but after losing Viktor Gyokeres, the Portuguese side are refused to sell their captain unless his €80m (£68m/$92m) release clause is met. Juventus then shifted focus to and Newcastle midfielder Tonali, proposing a player swap deal involving striker Dusan Vlahovic, which Newcastle rejected.

If Juventus move for Bissouma, it would rule out signing ‘s Nahuel Molina, as both are non-EU players and only one slot remains after the arrival of Canadian striker Jonathan David.

Juventus will hope to secure O’Riley as the transfer market heats up and the new season approaches. Juve will take on Parma in their first match on August 24.
