Juventus seeks late deal for Olympique Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

Juventus is pursuing a late transfer window agreement to sign Pierre-Emile Højbjerg from Olympique Marseille. The Italian club aims to bolster its midfield after failing to secure other targets earlier in the summer. Although Olympique Marseille has signaled a willingness to negotiate a departure for the player, the potential transfer depends on the midfielder's willingness to relocate. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg previously declined a move to Newcastle United during this window, suggesting he may prefer to remain in France. Juventus has only hours remaining to complete the deal before the market closes. The club views the addition as necessary to provide depth and experience in the center of the pitch.
