- Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti remains unconvinced by the Iceland international
- The Bianconeri urgently need attacking reinforcements after Dusan Vlahovic confirmed his departure

Italian media reports indicate that agents for Fiorentina forward Albert Gudmundsson have approached Juventus with an offer to sign the Iceland international. However, Bianconeri head coach Luciano Spalletti does not appear enthusiastic about securing the attacker’s signature, even at a reasonable price.
According to Tuttosport, via Calciomercato.com, Gudmundsson’s camp is actively seeking to arrange his exit from the Artemio Franchi Stadium. The representatives have contacted several clubs, with Juventus among those approached about a potential deal.
The transfer fee stands between €15 million and €18 million. This figure includes the total cost of a possible loan move for the first year of the contract.
Despite the modest asking price, Spalletti remains unmoved by the proposal. The manager does not view the 26-year-old as the ideal solution for his squad.
Juventus faces a busy summer in the transfer market. The club must strengthen its forward line, particularly at centre-forward, after Dusan Vlahovic announced he will leave when his contract expires this month.
The Serie A giants are exploring multiple options across the attack. However, Gudmundsson does not rank highly on their wish list. Real Madrid playmaker Brahim Diaz has emerged as a difficult target to secure. Meanwhile, Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has ruled out a move to Turin unless the club qualifies for the Champions League.
