Juventus Eye Lecce’s Nikola Krstovic as Attacking Reinforcements Take Shape
Juventus are expected to overhaul their attacking options this summer, with several potential departures and underperforming players likely to trigger a reshuffle up front. Cristiano Giuntoli, the club’s sporting director, has already begun to map out his strategy, with a shortlist that spans high-profile targets like Victor Osimhen—deemed financially out of reach—to Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman, a leading candidate for the wide forward role. Now, a new name has emerged: Nikola Krstovic.
Krstovic on the Radar
According to today’s edition of Tuttosport, Juventus are monitoring Lecce striker Nikola Krstovic as a potential addition to their front line. The Montenegro international has become a key figure for Marco Giampaolo this season, clocking up 33 appearances across Serie A and the Coppa Italia, with 11 goals and three assists to his name.
Lecce Set Price Tag at €20m
Krstovic joined Lecce last summer for a fee in the region of €4 million, but his value has since skyrocketed. The Giallorossi now rate the 24-year-old at around €20 million-a significant mark-up reflecting his growing influence and output.
Lecce's stance, however, may soften under certain conditions. Should they secure Serie A survival, the club could be open to a potential deal involving Vasilije Adzic, Juventus’ promising youngster. The Montenegrin attacking midfielder has scored four goals and provided three assists for Juve’s Next Gen side in Serie C, and has also made three appearances with the senior squad this season. A loan move to Lecce could be used as a makeweight in negotiations.
