Sky Sport Italia report that one of the most notable developments involves a possible swap deal with Premier League side West Ham United. Juventus have set their sights on Nayef Aguerd, the Moroccan international defender who spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad. Aguerd, who joined West Ham in 2022, is seen as a strong candidate to reinforce Juventus’ backline, especially as the club anticipates potential departures among its current defenders.
At the same time, West Ham have shown interest in Daniele Rugani, a long-serving Juventus centre-back. Rugani recently returned to Turin after a loan spell at Ajax, where he made 26 appearances during the 2024/25 season. With his contract at Juventus running until 2026, Rugani is considered an experienced and reliable option for West Ham, who are looking to rebuild after a challenging campaign.
Both clubs are reportedly in the early stages of negotiations, exploring the feasibility and details of a direct player exchange. Such swap deals are relatively rare in modern football, but this arrangement could address the needs of both teams: Juventus would gain a new defensive leader, while West Ham would add a seasoned Italian defender to their ranks.
