- Dutch winger viewed as back-up option to Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz

- 27-year-old previously struggled during three-year spell at Roma
- Named in Netherlands World Cup squad despite recent knee surgery
Juventus are monitoring Bournemouth winger Justin Kluivert as they look to strengthen their attacking options before the next transfer window.
The Turin giants view the Netherlands international as a possible alternative to Real Madrid playmaker Brahim Diaz. The Serie A club want to add more creativity between their midfield and forward lines.
Kluivert, aged 27, has previously played in Italy with Roma. He joined the capital club from Ajax in 2018 for €17.25 million but struggled to make an impact. He spent time on loan at RB Leipzig, Nice and Valencia before Bournemouth bought him permanently in 2023 for €10.8 million.
Under manager Andoni Iraola at the Vitality Stadium, the Dutchman showed promise. However, this campaign has proved difficult. He has scored only twice in 21 matches and underwent knee surgery in January.
Despite these fitness concerns, he remains part of the Netherlands national team setup and hopes to feature at the upcoming World Cup finals in North America.
