Juventus are closely monitoring Genoa full-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy ahead of the January transfer window, with the club considering him a potential option for future reinforcement. The young English defender has impressed in Serie A, catching the eye of several top sides — including the Bianconeri, who are carefully evaluating his situation.
Juventus Assessing Defensive Options
IlBianconero report that, with the winter market approaching, Juventus are actively exploring ways to strengthen their squad while staying attentive to possible departures. One name under review is Norton-Cuffy, who has been on the club’s radar for several months.
Born in 2004 and a product of Arsenal’s academy, the right-back is now in his second season with Genoa. His development has also earned him regular call-ups to England’s Under-21 side. Juventus appreciate his mix of physical strength, pace, and attacking intent — attributes that fit well within the club’s long-term sporting vision.
The Genoa Connection
Despite the interest from Turin, any negotiations with Genoa would not be straightforward. For coach Daniele De Rossi, Norton-Cuffy is considered a key part of his starting side, and the Rossoblù would be reluctant to lose such a vital player mid-season.
The relationship between the two clubs remains active, however, particularly in light of ongoing discussions surrounding Mattia Perin. Juventus regard the veteran goalkeeper as a crucial figure within the dressing room but remain in communication with Genoa over multiple matters.
Joao Mario’s Situation Could Influence Moves
The potential departure of Joao Mario could also influence Juventus’ approach. The Portuguese full-back has fallen down the pecking order under Luciano Spalletti and may leave in January, prompting the need for additional depth at right-back.
Should that happen, Norton-Cuffy could emerge as a serious candidate to provide competition and rotation alongside Andrea Cambiaso and Cabal. For now, Juventus continue to observe the 21-year-old closely — no formal steps have been taken, but the interest is real and consistent.
