Juventus identify Raul Jimenez as Diego Costa replacement

Juventus have reportedly placed emphasis on signing Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez as a replacement for Douglas Costa.

Jimenez has been in sensational form for Wolves during the 2019-20 season, contributing 26 goals and 10 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions.

The Mexico international has been linked with a bunch of clubs in recent months, including Liverpool and Manchester United, who could both move for a new striker this summer.

However, according to Tuttosport, the Serie A champions are firmly in the race for the 29-year-old forward, who has been identified as an ideal replacement for Douglas Costa.

The report adds that the Bianconeri are ready to offload the Brazilian, who is the subject of interest from Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

Juve are willing to sell Costa and bring in Wolves’ Raul Jimenez in replacement.

Jimenez has three years left to run on his contract at Molineux.
