Juventus are continuing talks to keep Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, but have also asked Liverpool for information on the Darwin Nunez situation.
The Bianconeri had Kolo Muani on loan for the last six months of the campaign and have been trying to negotiate a more permanent situation for the centre-forward , most likely a new loan with obligation to buy next summer.
The player himself is also eager to remain in Turin, knowing that there is no place for him in Paris.
However, while he remains the first choice, Juve are also sounding out other alternatives for the attack and in the last few hours reached out to Liverpool.
Serie A potential destination for Nunez
Nunez had already been heavily linked with a Serie A transfer for Napoli , who eventually decided to go for Lorenzo Lucca of Udinese instead.
They were put off by the €50m asking price, but Juventus are hoping to take advantage of and swoop for the Uruguay international.
Nunez just turned 26 last month and was only purchased from Benfica for €85m in the summer of 2022.
He contributed seven goals and seven assists in 47 competitive games for Liverpool last season, scoring just five in the Premier League.
Although there is a lucrative proposal from Al-Hilal, the player would prefer to remain within European football.
Again, Juventus would have to make this a paid loan with obligation to buy, but for the moment Kolo Muani continues to be the preferred candidate.
