Juventus prioritise a signing on the left: three names for Spalletti

The most viable option is Mahamadou Aboubakar Nagida, a wide player born in 2005 and a Cameroon international under contract with Rennes.

Left-footed, he has made 11 appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist. He also played a prominent role in the Europa League head-to-head against Juventus.

What makes him the most viable option? He shares agents with Khephren Thuram and Jeremie Boga, who are already under contract with Juventus.

Tyrick Mitchell keeps cropping up on Juventus' radar, with the club's transfer officials having tracked him for some time. A Crystal Palace mainstay, he joined the club in 2016 and completed his youth development there.

Capable of playing at full-back in a back four or as a wing-back, Mitchell is under contract until 30 June 2027, meaning a free transfer would have to wait until next summer.

RB Leipzig's German full-back David Raum, born in 1998, is also out of contract on 30 June 2027. The Germany international is more of an out-and-out full-back in a back four. Unlike Mitchell, he plays for a club that tends to sell. With his contract expiring at the end of the season, a January deal could be easier to strike between two clubs that have done several deals in the past.
