Luciano Spalletti is still looking to build his ideal squad at Juventus, with the Bianconeri manager keen to see the club strengthen its options in the coming weeks. Although the Old Lady already have some of the best players in Serie A, there are areas of the team that he would still like to improve.
The Juventus manager did not receive every player he wanted during the summer transfer window and is hoping the club will provide further support when the January market opens. One position he particularly wants to address is left back, where he believes another option would strengthen his squad.

Spalletti had been keen to bring in a new player in that position during the previous transfer window. However, Juventus did not manage to complete a deal because they failed to find a club willing to sign Juan Cabal, leaving the manager without the additional left back he wanted.
Juventus identify Bologna defender Juan Miranda
That situation may not prevent the club from pursuing another signing in January. According to Calciomercato, Spalletti wants Juventus to bring Bologna left back Juan Miranda to the club, having been impressed by his performances this season.
Miranda has been one of the best left backs in Serie A during the current campaign, and his displays have attracted the attention of the Juventus manager. Spalletti would like to have the defender in his squad, giving him another option in a position he has been keen to strengthen.

The move would represent an opportunity for Juventus to address one of the areas where their manager feels the team needs additional quality. Miranda’s performances at Bologna have made him a target, and the club could now look to make a move when the January transfer window arrives.

Juventus also hope to find a solution for Cabal
Juventus are prepared to explore the possibility of signing Miranda without first completing a sale of Cabal. The club would still prefer to find a team willing to take the defender, however, as that would help them avoid having too many players competing for the same position.

Finding a buyer for Cabal would therefore remain useful as Juventus consider their plans. The Old Lady want to strengthen the squad and keep Spalletti satisfied, while also ensuring that the number of left backs in the team does not become excessive.
Their January plans could depend on whether they can bring Miranda in and find a suitable destination for Cabal.
