Juventus targets Stanislav Lobotka amid midfield changes

Summary

Juventus is interested in signing Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka this summer. Coach Luciano Spalletti aims to strengthen the team's midfield, but Napoli's president Aurelio De Laurentiis has previously resisted negotiations with Juventus, complicating the potential transfer. Lobotka has a €25M release clause for foreign teams, but Napoli could demand €30M for him. Juventus is also assessing potential departures, including Khephren Thuram, due to financial considerations. The team remains in pursuit of Leon Goretzka, despite missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification.
