Juventus Transfer News: 6 Players Juve Could Still Sign This Transfer Window

With the Serie A drawing ever closer, Juventus still has a large portion of their transfer budget available to sign players. The question is, who will Juventus sign?

With Andrea Pirlo, Reto Ziegler, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Arturo Vidal already joining the ranks of Juventus, perhaps a striker is in the cards. After a loss to Sporting Lisbon 2-1 in a preseason friendly, Juventus hasn't yet tuned their squad to perfection.

Let us take a look at who Juventus could still sign.

An Italian Affair

Name: Giuseppe Rossi

Age: 24

Club: Villarreal

Position: Striker

Goals Last Season: 18 goals in 26 matches

Transfer Fee: €30

After the attempt to secure the services of Sergio Aguero failed, Juventus is turning to fellow Spanish club Villarreal in the hope they can sign Italian international front man Giuseppe Rossi.

If any deal does eventuate, Rossi would be in the advantageous position of not having to learn a new language to settle in. He would also be familiar with many of the players in the Juventus squad, playing regularly with Chiellini, Buffon, Marchisio and Quagliarella in international fixtures around the world.

Negotiations have slowed the last few days, mainly because Juventus has pursued Arturo Vidal after the loan of Felipe Melo to Turkey began.

Brazilian Magic

Name: Michel Bastos

Age: 27

Club: Lyon

Position: Midfielder (Left)

Goals Last Season: Eight goals (five assists) in 32 matches

Transfer Fee: €17-20

Michel Bastos has long been on the radar of the Old Lady.

Last season they approached Lyon to purchase the Brazilian as a left-back, which proved yet again to be a weakness for Juventus. Bastos has somewhat evolved into a midfielder this season, and with an apparent vacancy on the left-hand side of the field, Bastos could be the perfect replacement.

With news that the sale of Cissokho (Liverpool target) and Bastos will not both go ahead, Juventus may have to ask faster than first thought to secure the services of Bastos. He would be a great addition to a squad still in the rebuilding phase.

Superstar in the Making

Name: Simon Kjær

Age: 22

Club: Wolfsburg

Position: Defender (Centre)

Goals Last Season: One goal (five assists) in 34 matches

Transfer Fee: €15

Juventus' last venture with a Danish player went horribly wrong (Christian Poulsen). However, this time they have set their sights on a player who is pure talent and already proven himself on the world stage.

At still a young age, Kjær could be shaping up to be the next big thing in the world of football. He is solid on the ball and takes full control at the back.

Juventus had already tried to lure Simon away from Palermo before he joined Wolfsburg. But this time around they just might break through and sign the youngster.

Japanese Sensation

Name: Keisuke Honda

Age: 25

Club: CSKA Moscow

Position: Midfielder (Attacking)

Goals Last Season: Four goals in 12 matches

Transfer Fee: €10

Honda would make history at Juventus if he signs with the club. He would be the first-ever Japanese player to play for Juventus' first team. Along with this, Honda would bring a creative dimension to the Juventus attack—demonstrated during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

He is also a set piece specialist and would be able to take over the role from Del Piero whilst the Italian legend is off the field. Honda can play on both flanks and would be a very versatile player to have on the Juventus squad.

A Seasoned Professional

Name: Mirko Vučinić

Age: 27

Club: Roma

Position: Striker

Goals Last Season: 11 goals in 36 matches

Transfer Fee: €15

There is no question Mirko Vucinic has proven himself as a striker in Rome. After making a statement with his 19 goals for Lecce in his first season of the Serie A, Vucinic established himself as a reliable goal-getter for Rome.

Vucinic recently expressed his desire to leave Rome, but stay in Italy. With Juventus seemingly the only Italian club in the market for him, a move looks feasible. He would form a formidable attacking force with Quagliarella and Matri.

Young Gun on the Rise

Name: Marko Marin

Age: 22

Club: Werder Bremen

Position: Winger

Goals Last Season: Five goals (10 assists) 40 matches

Transfer Fee: €13

The tipped heir apparent to Diego and Mensut Ozil, Marko Marin looks to be the next big thing out of Germany. An extremely quick player on the ball, the German has already made his international team debut with 16 appearances already—and, of course, scoring a goal in the process.

Marin would prove to be a perfect addition to Juventus, slotting right in on the left-hand side of the field. Together with Krasic on the opposite side of the field, Juventus would have no problems finding men in the box from the sideline.
