Juventus Reach Deal to Sign Emil Holm on Loan With Option to Buy

Joao Mario is expected to join Bologna on loan in a related move to ease Juventus’ shortage at right-back.

Overview

Multiple outlets including Sky Sport, Fabrizio Romano and Romeo Agresti report Juventus have an agreement with Bologna for Holm on an initial loan with a purchase option.
Joao Mario is expected to move the other way on loan, with reporting indicating Holm’s switch to Turin would proceed regardless of Mario’s status.
Ilbianconero reports Holm is set for medical tests today or Monday, February 2, though no official announcement has been made.
Holm has logged 1,240 minutes for Bologna this season with five assists and one goal, while Joao Mario has just 373 minutes for Juventus, only 46 under Luciano Spalletti.
Juventus have also explored Oscar Mingueza and Brooke Norton-Cuffy, but a €20m demand linked to Barcelona’s 50% sell-on and Genoa’s reluctance to sell make January moves unlikely.
