Juventus need to bolster their midfield in upcoming transfer windows, and the latest name on their radar is Hungarian prospect Alex Toth from Ferencvaros. Often compared to Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai, the 20-year-old central midfielder has caught the eye of the Bianconeri, who aim to snap up young talents before they explode onto the scene.
Born in Budapest in 2005, IlBianconero report how Toth made the step up to Ferencvaros’s first team last season after two years with the club’s second side. He has since become a regular starter, showcasing his technical quality at both club and international level, including in the Europa League.
This season alone, Toth has played 19 matches, scoring two goals and providing five assists – one of which came in Europe. Last campaign, he featured 17 times in the league with two goals and eight assists. His rapid rise continued with a senior Hungary debut in March under coach Marco Rossi, where he has since earned nine caps.
Interest in Toth extends far beyond Turin, with major Bundesliga clubs in hot pursuit. Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig are tracking him closely, while Bayern Munich have shown open interest and Borussia Dortmund could yet join the race. Juventus view him as a versatile option for both now and the future, but face stiff competition.
His transfer fee is currently estimated at around €15 million, a figure likely to climb with every impressive performance and suitor. For Juventus, this would represent a smart, contained investment in midfield quality, with a modest wage that aligns with the club’s strategy. Acting swiftly may be key if they want to beat out the German heavyweights.
