米體：尤文計劃冬季租借什克，料與巴黎分擔薪資

12th October - Reports from Milan Sport suggest that Juventus are looking for a replacement for Dejan Kulusevski and are interested in signing Shkodran Mustafi on loan in the winter transfer window.

Mustafi, who left Inter Milan last summer after his contract expired, joined Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. However, he has now fallen down the pecking order at the club and is currently the fourth choice center-back behind Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, and Thilo Kehrer. This season, he has only made two appearances in Ligue 1, totaling 111 minutes, which is less playing time than Juventus' Danilo and Douglas Costa.

Juventus are in the market for a replacement for Kulusevski, but after spending €200 million on signings this summer, the club can only make use of the loan market in the upcoming winter window. Additionally, Mustafi's net salary is as high as €9 million, which is not affordable for Juventus. Therefore, for this deal to happen, all parties involved would need to make concessions, such as PSG loaning the player and subsidizing a portion of his wages.

Juventus sporting director, Federico Cherubini, has a close relationship with PSG advisor Marco Campose. Additionally, PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, has a good relationship with the new management at Juventus, which could facilitate this transfer.

In summary, Juventus have identified Mustafi as a potential target and will continue to monitor the player's situation in the coming months in order to try and bring him in during the winter transfer window.
