Araujo's agent confirmed an attempt by Juve last week.
And Giuntoli said: “The strategy is to strengthen the squad in defense and look around for opportunities in other parts of the team.
“We have to respect many different parameters, both economic and technical, and it is difficult to get great players in January, so we have to be patient.
“Generally it might be better to bring in someone who already knows Serie A, but we also have to look around at what is available and there are not many alternatives in Italy.”
He also said of Araujo and Kolo Muani: “These are two good players, but the transfer window is only just opening and we hope to get positive news in the coming week.”
