The derby of Italy is always the derby of Italy, even when the Scudetto is not at stake. No matter if they are fighting for different goals: Juventus and Inter always care about proving who is stronger. And this eternal rivalry is not limited to the field: it also extends to the market, where the two teams often find themselves courting the same targets, with negotiations that immediately take on the flavor of a challenge.
Giuntoli and Ausilio are already refining their strategies ahead of next summer, and there is more than one name on which they could cross swords. Let’s look at four targets, one per role, plus a “bonus track,” that are likely to ignite the market battle.
Gianluigi Donnarumma: l’occasione da prendere al volo (se il PSG lo cede)
Donnarumma could leave Paris next summer or wait two years to free himself on a zero-parameter basis. Juventus has always liked him, a passion never hidden.

In recent months, however, Inter has also started to give it a thought, especially if it then decides to sell Sommer. The national team goalkeeper would be the perfect coup for both, and if there were a chink to bring him back to Serie A, Juve and Inter would be ready to play for everything.
Sam Beukema: il pupillo di Thiago Motta piace anche all’Inter
Sam Beukema is proving to be a very reliable center back even under Vincenzo Italiano, who is keeping Bologna up there even after Thiago Motta’s controversial farewell. But Motta himself is a great admirer of the Dutch center-back and would gladly take him with him to Juventus.

But watch out, because Inter is also keeping a close eye on him. Beukema could become the right man to refresh the defense of both teams, especially considering the generational changes taking place. Should Bologna decide to sell him, it will be a two-way race.
Lorenzo Pellegrini: il capitano lascia la Roma e piace a mezza Italia
It is definitely not a good season for Lorenzo Pellegrini, who now seems to have decided that he will leave Rome at the end of the season after slipping down the field hierarchies.

In January, Inter could have picked him up but then didn’t sink in. But Juventus has liked Pellegrini for ages, and next summer could finally be the right time for a change of scenery. It is not out of the question that Juve and Inter could clash to take him home. But they will not be the only ones: Napoli, Milan and foreign clubs are also closely monitoring the situation of the Giallorossi midfielder.
Jonathan David: il parametro zero che piace a tutta l’Europa
The most desirable parameter zero of next summer, but also one of the hardest to reach. Jonathan David is proving again this year that he is one of the most interesting strikers in Europe thanks to another very prolific season, and the fact that he has not yet renewed with Lille makes him even more greedy.

In Italy, Juventus and Inter are the first to have made a move on him, but the real risk is that his valuation and recruitment demands are out of reach for any Serie A club. However, if there were even a small chance, neither would back down: the clash would be total, to the last breath.
