Juventus plans January bid for Olympique Marseille's Emerson Palmieri

Juventus is considering a move for Emerson Palmieri from Olympique Marseille in the January transfer window. The club's interest follows their unsuccessful attempt to sell Juan Cabal, who has been deemed surplus to requirements by manager Luciano Spalletti due to poor form. Juventus wanted to finalize Palmieri's transfer this past summer but could not proceed while Cabal remained. The Italian side aims to sort out Cabal's situation first before pursuing new defensive options, with the January window expected to clarify the future of both players.
