Juventus are showing interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers left-back Hugo Bueno as a potential transfer target. The Serie A giants view the 23-year-old Spaniard as a more affordable option compared to other left-back targets.
Bueno's current contract with Wolves runs until 2028, having signed an extension in 2023. He made his Premier League debut for the club in 2022 after joining the academy from CD Areosa in 2019. The full-back established himself as a regular starter last season, even during a difficult campaign that ended in relegation to the Championship.
Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti appreciates Bueno's tactical flexibility. The defender can operate effectively in a back four or as a wing-back when needed. This versatility makes him an attractive prospect for a club looking to strengthen its defensive options. Juventus are specifically keen on adding an attacking full-back to their squad, and Bueno's profile fits their requirements. His recent loan spell at Feyenoord during the 2024/25 season, where he made 20 Eredivisie appearances, provided valuable European experience.
Much will depend on Wolves' stance regarding a potential sale. The club's position will be key in determining whether Juventus can proceed with a deal. Bueno was offered to several clubs following Wolves' relegation, including PSV Eindhoven. Last summer, there was interest from Feyenoord, who considered making his loan permanent, and Leeds United also explored a potential move. Wolves will have a decision to make if Juventus submits a formal approach.
Bueno recently featured in Wolves' 3-0 EFL Cup win over Port Vale. He was, however, left out of the squad for the 2-2 Championship draw with Blackburn Rovers due to a minor injury. His availability and fitness will be factors in any transfer discussions. The defender has admitted to enjoying his football last term despite the team's struggles, showing a committed attitude.

The coming days will reveal whether Juventus formalizes their interest with an official bid. Wolves must weigh the benefits of retaining a key defender against the financial considerations of a potential sale. Bueno's contract security gives the club a strong negotiating position. His continued development at Molineux or a move to Turin will be a significant storyline as the transfer window progresses.
