Juventus are very seriously interested in signing Juan Miranda from Bologna, and the move is already being framed around January. Transfery.info says Juventus are actively monitoring him ahead of the window, while the same reporting says they want to get ahead of AC Milan and Newcastle.

Juventus and their rivals

The interest is not coming out of nowhere. Miranda's contract at Bologna runs until June 2028, so any deal would need more than a casual enquiry, and Juventus are being linked with an offer as early as January.

That early move makes sense when you look at the competition around him. Bologna are 8th in Serie A with 17 points from 11 league games, Juventus are 7th with 18, Newcastle sit 12th in the Premier League, and Milan are 4th in Serie A.

Miranda's start at Bologna

Miranda's output is what has pushed him into the conversation. He has 5 Serie A assists in 10 appearances this season, and those numbers have come in 713 minutes. His average rating of 6.78 points to a steady start rather than a one-off burst.

The figure has drawn attention beyond Italy because it looks efficient in a position where end product is always noticed. Calciomercato.it said he has had an excellent first part of the season and has ended up in the sights of two Italian giants. Juventus look to be one of them, but they are not the only club willing to wait for the right moment to move.
