Kalvin Phillips has been requested by Massimiliano Allegri as Juventus' number one transfer target, and is also highly regarded by sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, with a view to bringing the player in during the January 2025 transfer market.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian club has quietly begun negotiations for a loan deal with the option to buy the English midfielder who under Marcelo Bielsa's guidance at Leeds became a standout in English football.
Juventus has been forced to give up Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli due to the suspensions the players have been handed and will make recruiting at least two midfield reinforcements a priority in January - starting with the Yorkshireman who at present can only watch matches through binoculars from the bench at Manchester City.
