Juventus open player exchange talks with West Ham for Nayef Aguerd as Serie A side plan to offer defender in swap deal

FIFA Club World Cup

Juventus

Manchester City

<p>Tudor wants a defensive makeover at Juventus for the upcoming season with the Croatian manager looking to add reinforcements. After failing to land Renato Viega from Chelsea, the club are now looking to sign Aguerd from West Ham, as per <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/juventus-contatti-col-west-ham-per-aguerd-45844" target="_blank"><em>Calciomercato</em></a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Tudor wants Juventus to add defensive players that can actually hold and control the backline, something the team have been missing. Juventus, in their effort, have permanently signed Lloyd Kelly for €17.5 million (£15m/$20m) from Newcastle United. While Tudor's side were also interested in Viega, who impressed during his loan at Turin, the Italian side couldn't match the London club's transfer fee. They have now identified Aguerd as a promising figure to lead the backline but might have to offer Daniele Rugani to West Ham in return.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Juventus general manager Damien Comolli wants to make big changes at the club. The Italian side were also considering replacing Tudor,<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/passion-charisma-juventus-igor-tudor-contract-extension-coach-club-world-cup/bltc295e1ba4411022d#cs79725f3aece2c706" target="_blank"> but the Croatian's last-minute effort changed the feeling around him for the club to then extend his contract for two years</a>. Now, Comolli also wants to sort the internal structure of the club and has also made his first few calls starting with promoting Giorgio Chiellini to the position of director of football strategy.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Defender Bremer is expected to return early at the onset of next season after his knee injury last October. This will strengthen the squad, but gaps are evident as the club look into the possibility of adding another left-footed player. At the front, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/randal-kolo-muani-stays-juventus-confirm-agreement-extend-psg-star-loan-club-world-cup-forward-future-remains-unclear/bltae9eab1f7bc135a7" target="_blank">Randal Kolo Muani's situation hasn't progressed</a>, although Juve will retain his services till the culmination of the Club World Cup.</p><p>Tudor's side will face Wydad Casablanca on June 22 at Lincoln Financial Field in Pennsylvania.</p>
