Juventus have no intention of stopping at Kolo Muani and Alajbegovic. With Luciano Spalletti’s full squad-building request still far from satisfied, Carnevali and Massara are working simultaneously across four distinct positions — and a fresh name has emerged this afternoon in the striker department: Ermedin Demirović of VfB Stuttgart.
Four Signings Still Required — and the Striker Position Remains Open
The four positions Spalletti has explicitly requested remain: a goalkeeper, a central defender ideally left-footed, a midfielder of substance, and a further attacking option. With Kolo Muani now confirmed as the primary centre-forward, the fourth requirement is for a complementary forward — one capable of sharing the load across a demanding season in Serie A and the Europa League.
That search has produced a long and varied list of candidates throughout the summer — Sorloth, Mateta, Richarlison, Zirkzee, Pellegrino, Balogun — and Demirović now joins it.
Who Is Ermedin Demirović?
Demirović, born in 2000 and an international for Bosnia and Herzegovina, made a significant impact in the Bundesliga during his two seasons at Stuttgart after joining from Augsburg. A dynamic, pressing-orientated forward capable of playing both as a centre-forward and in a wider role, he combines intelligent movement with a consistent goal-scoring return that made him one of the most sought-after attacking players in German football. His energy, physicality, and direct running style sit comfortably within the profile Spalletti has consistently described when articulating his ideal second striker.
Carnevali and Massara Are Taking Their Time
The club’s approach to the second striker position is deliberate rather than urgent — a reflection of the fact that Kolo Muani provides immediate and reliable cover at the head of the attack, and that David’s expected departure will help clarify both the squad’s needs and its financial capacity. Before committing to any further attacking investment, Carnevali and Massara want the full picture — incoming and outgoing — to be clear. Demirović’s name is in the file. Whether it rises to the top of the list will depend on the deals that happen around it first.
