Juventus Leading the Race for Georgiy Sudakov

Juventus are currently in talks to sign Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Georgiy Sudakov, with the 22-year-old Ukrainian international attracting interest from Napoli and Brentford. Sudakov, who has been a key performer for Shakhtar, has scored 13 goals and provided 6 assists this season. Juventus have made an offer, aiming to strengthen their squad ahead of the summer transfer window.

When the summer transfer window opens, Juventus are expected to make a strong move for Shakhtar Donetsk's Ukrainian midfielder Georgiy Sudakov. The 22-year-old, a key figure in Shakhtar’s recent back-to-back league triumphs, has recorded 13 goals and six assists across all competitions this season, drawing attention from clubs across Europe. Juventus are reportedly leading the race for his signature, ahead of Napoli and Premier League side Brentford.

Napoli had previously tried to sign Sudakov in January but failed to reach an agreement. Now, Juve have submitted a formal offer, identifying him as a priority signing to bolster their midfield under manager Igor Tudor, who will have a healthy transfer budget at his disposal. Sudakov’s rise has been compared to that of Mykhailo Mudryk, who joined Chelsea in a record-breaking deal in 2023.

Known for his dribbling and chance creation, Sudakov could serve as a potential replacement for Kenan Yildiz, who is being targeted by Chelsea. In addition to Sudakov, Juventus are eyeing a new striker, with Victor Osimhen topping their wishlist and Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman considered as a backup. With Juve currently fifth in Serie A, one point behind Bologna, strengthening the squad is crucial to boost their Champions League hopes.
