The 2022 January transfer window is closed, but there’s still plenty of gossip swirling about who’s moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings and goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Pulisic could land in Serie A
Amid uncertainty surrounding the future of Chelsea, Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus are interested in as many as four players from the Blues in the summer — with United States star Christian Pulisic on the list.
Any transfer business for Chelsea going forward could be complicated, though, as the club’s owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK Government, freezing his assets including the team.
They will operate under a new “Russia Regulations” licence, allowing the club to continue footballing operations, but putting restrictions on certain things such as the ability to renew contracts or transfer players.
However, despite that fact, the Bianconeri are said to be eyeing a number of players for the summer if they can sign them from Chelsea.
The 23-year-old Pulisic, who was left out of the squad that beat Norwich City 3-1 on Thursday, is yet to secure a regular spot in the starting team, scoring four and assisting once in 14 Premier League appearances this season.
The USMNT attacker isn’t the only one who is in Juve’s sights, though, as Hakim Ziyech is also viewed as another signing in the striking department if Massimiliano Allegri can’t land Nicolo Zaniolo from AS Roma.
Midfielder Jorginho is said to be a priority option to bring back to Serie A, with his deal expiring in 2023, while defender Antonio Rudiger is also a potential option as he is a free agent in the summer.
