Reports: Juventus eye Nicolás Tagliafico if Juan Cabal heads to Atalanta on Deadline Day
One South American left back could come in the another if things happen on the final day of the summer mercato.
Juventus are set for a busy Deadline Day, primarily due to multiple players they have agreed to sign on loan, who will subsequently sign contracts for the 2026-27 season. However, one final combination of potential deals could impact the club's defense. Reports suggest that Juventus have held discussions with Nicolás Tagliafico's representatives regarding his willingness to leave Ligue 1 and join Italian side Atalanta before the summer transfer window closes.
According to multiple sources, this could be contingent upon Juventus reaching an agreement with Atalanta for Colombian left-back Juan Cabal, a player previously acquired by Juventus from Lyon two years ago. Atalanta has not yet provided an offer for Cabal, as per the insights shared by Mirko Di Natale. Recently, Juventus have been relatively inactive in the summer transfer market, signing only two players and spending just €14 million so far.
The situation surrounding Cabal has fluctuated over the past few days, with discussions about a potential move to Atalanta at one point, but now focused on his departure from Juventus. Tagliafico, at 34 years old, brings considerable experience to the table, having represented Argentina in the recent World Cup final and recently been a key player in Lyon's squad, following a stint at Ajax.
