The attraction is clear.
That profile has value. Juventus do not need another all-action midfielder for the sake of it; they need balance. If the aim is to put more structure around Manuel Locatelli and improve first-phase distribution, then a player who can circulate the ball cleanly becomes a practical target rather than a luxury one.
This is the key point in the story.
Juventus have carried too much midfield overlap at times: similar profiles, unclear hierarchy, limited room for development. Until that changes, even a relatively affordable deal can stay on hold. That is why this feels exploratory, not advanced.
The report also says Juventus are prioritising a goalkeeper, with Zion Suzuki mentioned as a possible target. That gives the midfield story useful context. Clubs rarely solve every issue at once; they sequence them.
So the next step is obvious: watch the departures before the arrival talk heats up. If Juventus move players out late in the window, Galarza could become a more serious option. Until then, he looks like a name on the board rather than the next deal over the line.
