Juventus have set their sights on Albert Gudmundsson and are actively strategizing to secure his signature ahead of Inter and Tottenham in the upcoming transfer window.

The Icelandic forward, aged 26, appears poised to leave Genoa this summer following a standout season under Alberto Gilardino. With 15 goals and four assists in 32 appearances, Gudmundsson has become a hot commodity in European football.

Among the interested parties, Juventus, Inter, and Tottenham lead the pack. While Tottenham can leverage the financial prowess of the Premier League and Inter plans to sell assets to fund their pursuit, Juventus’ director Cristiano Giuntoli is tasked with finding a winning solution.

According to Tuttosport’s report, Juventus has already engaged in discussions with Gudmundsson’s representatives to outline the framework of a potential deal. This proactive approach allows them to devise a comprehensive strategy for negotiations with Genoa, who are anticipating offers from Inter and Tottenham as well.

In their bid to secure Gudmundsson’s services, Juventus aims to sweeten the deal by offering Argentine midfielder Enzo Barrenechea as part of a swap arrangement. Genoa has already expressed interest in the 22-year-old midfielder as a promising addition to their squad.
