Luciano Spalletti targets Stanislav Lobotka for Juventus this summer

Luciano Spalletti is pursuing Stanislav Lobotka to strengthen Juventus’ midfield, aiming to integrate him as a regista. Lobotka's release clause is €25 million for clubs outside Serie A, but Juventus would need to pay €30 million to negotiate with Napoli.

The decision rests with Juventus CEO Giovanni Carnevali, who has been active in the transfer market. Negotiations will be crucial as Juventus looks to finalize the deal before the transfer window closes.
