Juventus offered swap deal for Porto right-back and open Molina talks with Atletico Madrid

Porto have reportedly offered Juventus a player-plus-cash swap deal involving Alberto Costa and João Mário, but the Bianconeri have also opened talks with Atletico Madrid for Nahuel Molina.

Juventus have been offered to sign Porto right-back João Mário in a player-plus-cash swap deal involving their defender Alberto Costa.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Bianconeri would also receive €3m to complete the transfer.

Juventus offered swap deal from Porto

Alberto Costa, a former Vitoria Guimaraes defender, has already attracted interest from Porto’s domestic rivals Sporting CP, who opened talks with the Serie A giants weeks ago.

Football Italia exclusively reported negotiations between Sporting CP and Juventus for Alberto Costa earlier this month.

The Portuguese right-back moved to Turin in the 2025 January transfer window for €13.8m from Vitoria Guimaraes.

Alberto Costa has played 14 games at the Allianz Stadium, providing three assists.

His contract with Juventus runs out in June 2029.

Juventus open talks for Molina

According to Gazzetta, the Serie A giants have also opened preliminary talks with Atletico Madrid for another right-back, former Udinese star Molina.

According to the report, the Bianconeri aim to lower Atletico’s asking price, which is between €25m and €30m, by offering a loan deal with an option or obligation to buy.
