Juventus is considering signing Patrik Schick as a backup for Vlahovic in the January transfer window. In the past, Schick was very close to joining Juventus in the summer of 2017 but the transfer was not completed due to issues during the medical examination. Currently, Schick is under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until June 2027 and has scored 4 goals in 14 appearances this season.
