Juventus Consider Ricardo Pepi and Omar Marmoush

Pepi offers the clearer route

Pepi’s situation looks easier to define. PSV Eindhoven would reportedly be prepared to discuss the United States international for around €25 million to €30 million, giving Juventus a clearer financial reference point than they have for Marmoush.

That valuation could become important if talks for Sorloth or Kolo Muani stall. Juventus are understood to be reshaping their attack rather than simply adding depth, so the eventual signing will need to offer regular starts and a reliable scoring threat.

Pepi’s profile also fits a recruitment strategy built around a forward entering his prime. The reported price would place him among the more accessible options on Juventus’ list.

Marmoush depends on Manchester City decision

Marmoush is the more complicated case. His future at Manchester City reportedly depends on Enzo Maresca’s assessment, leaving Juventus in a watching brief rather than an active negotiating position.

The Egypt international would bring greater uncertainty to the process because his availability may not be established until City settle their own plans. Juventus have reportedly not made contact with either City or PSV, reinforcing the view that these are contingency options rather than advanced deals.

The contrast is clear:

  • Sorloth and Kolo Muani: Juventus’ primary targets, with talks reportedly opened.
  • Pepi: A defined alternative with a reported €25m-€30m valuation.
  • Marmoush: A target whose status depends on Manchester City’s next decision.

Juventus’ next move will reveal whether they are pursuing a first-choice striker aggressively or preparing for a chain reaction in the market. The progress of talks over Sorloth and Kolo Muani should determine whether Pepi becomes a serious proposal, while Marmoush may remain unavailable until Maresca’s assessment is complete.
