Juventus are monitoring the market for a left-back ahead of January, with reports suggesting Tottenham Hotspur’s Destiny Udogie has emerged as a realistic target. Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport have linked the Italy international with a potential switch to Turin, framing the move as another opportunity for the two clubs to build on their recent transfer and loan activity.
Udogie, who was signed by Spurs from Udinese in 2022 for a reported €18m plus add-ons, has an established profile as a wing-back capable of carrying the ball forward as well as defending in wide areas.
For Juventus, the attraction is simple: they want a specialist left-sided option who can also contribute in attack, and Udogie has the technical qualities required to fit a Spalletti-style emphasis on structured build-up and controlled intensity. The same reports indicate Juventus could view January as the moment to help Udogie regain momentum, particularly if he is not consistently involved at Spurs due to a mix of squad rotation and fitness management.

The potential interest also sits within a broader pattern of cooperation between the clubs. Juventus have previously strengthened their squad through the relationship with Tottenham, including the loans of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and midfielder Pape Matar Sarr.
That connection matters because it can reduce friction in negotiations: the clubs are already familiar with each other’s processes, expectations and timelines, which can make winter deals more practical than starting from scratch. Juventus are not believed to be operating solely on one name. Reports suggest they have looked first at Rayan Ait-Nouri as a more established alternative, though reaching an agreement may prove complicated.
With that in mind, Udogie’s profile—an international with top-flight experience in the Premier League—could make him a more feasible solution if talks for other options stall.
At this stage, there is no confirmed offer or bid from either club. But with January approaching, Juventus’ search for left-back depth is likely to intensify, especially if they decide they need immediate squad cover rather than a longer-term project.
