Juventus eyes Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg amid Marseille's financial issues
Summary

Juventus is considering a move for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in January as Olympique Marseille faces financial difficulties. Hojbjerg, who rejected a summer transfer to Newcastle United, is seen as an asset to sell. Marseille is expected to accept offers for him, providing Juventus an opportunity to secure the midfielder they targeted previously. Juventus' midfield plans may depend on the return of injured players Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram, both expected back in early 2027.
