Tuttosport newspaper reports that Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli was in England on Monday to hold talks with several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, as the Bianconeri seek defensive reinforcement and await offers for Dusan Vlahovic.
Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli met with several Premier League clubs on Monday, the eve of a key Champions League match against Club Brugge.
According to Tuttosport newspaper, Giuntoli met Chelsea to discuss Renato Veiga and Ben Chilwell, although the latter is an option for Juventus only if Andrea Cambiaso leaves.

Newcastle’s Lloyd Kelly is another Juventus target in England, with the Bianconeri exploring potential loan moves with an option to buy.
Tuttosport reports that Juventus could even sign both Kelly and Veiga. However, the Serie A giants have only one slot available for non-EU players, so they can’t sign two Englishmen in this transfer session.
Therefore, signing Kelly and Chilwell this month would not be possible.
According to Tuttosport, Giuntoli is also waiting for offers for Vlahovic and both Chelsea and Arsenal are among the clubs monitoring the Serbia international.
The former Fiorentina star is expected to start the second consecutive match on the bench this evening, and Juventus are open to selling him now or in the summer, as he’s unwilling to extend his stay at the club beyond 2026.
