Juventus and Bologna are reportedly considering swapping the services of their two right-backs, Joao Mario and Emil Holm.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese international joined the Bianconeri last summer<\/a> in an indirect exchange for Alberto Costa, who signed for Porto. But while the latter has established himself as a key player for the Dragao, Mario has been a major letdown in Turin, struggling to gain any playing time.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Juventus remain on high alert in the final few days of the January transfer session. If a suitable profile is available, they\u2019ll be looking to pounce on the opportunity to sign him.<\/p>\n

Holm to Juventus, Joao Mario to Bologna?<\/p>\n

According to Il Corriere di Bologna (via TuttoJuve<\/a>), Holm and Mario could swap clubs in the coming days, with the two clubs pondering an exchange of loans.<\/p>\n

Holm is a 25-year-old right-back who has been plying his trade in Serie A since joining Spezia in 2021.<\/p>\n

Due to his hardworking ethics and never-say-die attitude, the full-back has been likened to former Juventus star Stephan Lichtsteiner<\/a>, who was an instrumental player for the Bianconeri during Antonio Conte\u2019s reign and Max Allegri\u2019s first stint.<\/p>\n

The Swede has been linked with a move to Juventus in the pas<\/a>t, but he signed for Atalanta in 2023, before joining Bologna a year later. This season, he made 19 appearances across all competitions, contributing with a goal and five assists.<\/p>\n

Holm also wanted at Napoli & Wolves<\/p>\n

Unlike Mario, who is already an afterthought at Juventus, Holm is part of Vincenzo Italiano\u2019s plans. However, Nadir Zortea is now considered Bologna\u2019s first choice right-back, while the experienced Lorenzo Di Silvestri still receives occasional opportunities.<\/p>\n

However, Juventus are facing stern competition for the Swedish international, as Napoli are keeping close tabs on the player, and the same goes for Premier League strugglers Wolves.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it remains to be seen if there be concrete developments on this track in the coming hours.<\/p>\n
