Juventus are closing in on a deal for Bologna right-back Emil Holm, but their long-term target could be Roma\u2019s Zeki Celik.<\/p>\n

Over the last 24 hours or so, the Bianconeri have launched an onslaught for Holm<\/a>, with fresh confirmations arriving by the hour.<\/p>\n

Juventus and Bologna have been working on a loan swap involving the Swedish full-back and Joao Mario, who has swiftly become an afterthought in Turin following his summer transfer from Porto.<\/p>\n

Juventus pushing to sign Emil Holm on short-term deal<\/p>\n

In recent hours, sources in the Italian media revealed that Juventus are determined to sign Holm, regardless of whether the undecided Joao Mario agrees to move to Bologna<\/a> or not. La Repubblica (via TuttoJuve<\/a>) has also confirmed the Old Lady\u2019s stance in this regard.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the former Spezia and Atalanta right-back could soon sign for Juve on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old will add some much-needed depth on the right flank, as Pierre Kalulu has thus far played every minute in every competition since the start of the season.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Holm might be considered as a stopgap solution for Juventus, who are reportedly eyeing other profiles for next season.<\/p>\n

According to Il Corriere dello Sport (via TuttoJuve<\/a>), the Turin-based giants are already plotting to recruit Celik in the summer.<\/p>\n

Following an impressive four-year stint at LOSC Lille, the Turkish international joined Roma in the summer of 2022.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old cemented himself as a regular starter in the Italian capital. He currently operates either as a right wing-back or on the right side of the three-man backline in Gian Piero Gasperini\u2019s 3-4-2-1 system.<\/p>\n

However, the Giallorossi haven\u2019t been able to convince Celik to pen a new deal. Therefore, the player is set to leave Trigoria on a free transfer once his contract expires at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Juventus are enticed by the opportunity to sign a right-back with valuable Serie A experience under his belt as a free agent.<\/p>\n

The Bianconeri are also keeping tabs on young Genoa wing-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy, but Genoa have set their asking price at \u20ac25 million.<\/p>\n
