Serie A champions Juventus are aiming to revamp their squad with new signings in the January 2020 transfer window. The Turin side are linked with three Premier league superstars. These include Mohamed Salah, Son Heung-Min and Christian Eriksen.
Juventus scouts seen at Premier League clash
According to British media reports, Juventus scouts were seen in the Liverpool-Tottenham Hotspur clash in the Premier League a few days ago. The Old Lady wants to add to its attacking prowess with an aim to win the much-acclaimed UEFA Champions League. Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri wants an ideal back-up for Cristiano Ronaldo on the attacking front.
Serie A champions Juventus are prepared to spend heavily in pursuit of UEFA Champions League glory. With money not being an obstacle, as they reap the benefits of Cristiano Ronaldo's presence, Liverpool’s much-prized star Salah and Tottenham duo Son and Eriksen are reportedly on Juventus' radar.
Dane midfielder Eriksen is a top priority for the Old Lady, with his contract with the Spurs set to expire next summer, meaning Juventus can begin pre-contractual negotiations with him in January 2020. Meanwhile, Salah has dazzled since he left Juventus' Serie A rivals AS Roma in 2017, finishing as the Premier League's top goalscorer in the last two campaigns and bagging the winner against Spurs in the Champions League last season - again from the penalty spot. Salah extended his contract with Liverpool in 2018, which sees him bound at the Anfield till 2023.
Son was also observed in the match and the South Korea captain is another star, who has made a huge impact since making his Premier League debut. The 27-year-old initially struggled after his switch to north London from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, but he has quickly become one of the first names on the team-sheet for Mauricio Pochettino - making his 200th appearance for the club against the Reds, having scored 72 goals so far. The player extended his contract with Tottenham in 2018, keeping him at the club till 2023.
