Can Jesus rejuvenate the Old Lady’s Scudetto ambitions?

Handing over the Serie A trophy to Inter still hurts at Allianz Stadium in Turin. And because of that, even though Cristiano Ronaldo has been tipped to stay for another season, Juventus are looking for options in attack.Juve are keen to add more firepower to their squad after finishing fourth in Serie A last season, 13 points behind champions Inter Milan.And according to Tuttosport, Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus tops a list of targets that include PSG attackers Moise Kean and Mauro Icardi, Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic and town rivals Torino’s Andrea Belotti.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Juve chiefs reportedly convened over the weekend to confirm Jesus and their former striker Kean as their top targets. Since arriving to Etihad Stadium in 2017 – the 24-year-old Jesus has failed to establish himself in Man City’s first team. He found his Man City career influenced by two major factors – presence of Sergio Aguero and the fact that City often opted to play without an orthodox striker. Moise Kean, Italian of Ivorian parents, has struggled since signing for Everton from Juve in the summer of 2019. Luckily for him, he enjoyed a successful loan spell at Paris Saint-Germain last season, where in 41 games for the French giants he scored 17 goals. PSG, alongside with Manchester United, were linked with bringing in Ronaldo, and also – new Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is a known admirer of the 36-year-old forward.Victorious Italy return home after spoiling England’s Euro 2020 partyHowever, regardless of all that alleged interest, it seems the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is happy to remain in Turin for another season.
