The Bianconeri are preparing an “ambitious market” and are aiming for players with experience and personality, especially in midfield and attack
“Bernardo Silva and Alisson? I won’t name names, but Juve always has the charm to attract champions.” A few days after the renewal of Luciano Spalletti’s contract, Damien Comolli confirms the Bianconeri’s desire to create an ambitious transfer market, which will include players with personality and proven international experience in the squad, to bring the team back to the top battle. But, in addition to the Brazilian and the Portuguese, who are the other players in the sights of the Juventus management?
Juve, reinforcements in the sights in midfield

The main roles to be strengthened, in the coach and club’s opinion, are undoubtedly midfield and attack. In addition to the 31-year-old Portuguese player from Manchester City, Juventus has had another luxury free agent in their sights for some time: Leon Goretzka from Bayern. The competition is very strong, from Arsenal to Milan. The dream remains that of Sandro Tonali, but Newcastle’s valuation of almost 100 million makes it difficult to set even a basis for negotiations. Alternatively, there is a Spalletti loyalist: Stanislav Lobotka, whom the current Juventus coach built as director of Napoli’s Scudetto title and who, with his contract expiring in 2027 and a renewal pending, could leave De Laurentiis’ club next summer.

After the failed arrival of Jonathan David and Lois Openda last summer, Juve’s attack will also be profoundly renewed. While waiting to define Vlahovic’s possible contract renewal, the Juventus management has taken the first steps in the direction of Robert Lewandowski, making his interest known during the semi-final of the World Cup play-off between Poland and Albania. The Pole, with his contract expiring in June with Barcelona, has a renewal proposal from the Blaugrana for just one year and is clearly downward, in addition to offers in the millions from Saudi Arabia and MLS. Juve (and Milan) wait and hope. The path that leads to Randal Kolo Muani’s return to Turin also clearly remains alive: the Frenchman will return to PSG after his loan to Tottenham, but has no future in Paris. The feeling between the Parisian sporting director Campos and Jonathan David could favor an exchange. In the background is Darwin Nunez, intending to leave Al-Hilal.
juventus, the goals in defense

The fact that the defensive department starts from a more solid base obviously does not exclude it from among those to be strengthened. In this case, however, any luxury departures could play a role: among these, that of Gleison Bremer, whose contract includes a release clause worth over 50 million. Spalletti’s favorite would be another of his… creation: that Kim Min-Jae around whom he built Napoli’s wall of the scudetto. The Korean can leave Germany on loan next summer, but his salary of over 10 million euros is currently a cumbersome obstacle for Juve. Once the Senesi track is closed, which will free itself from Bournemouth but has excessive demands, another dream remains in the background… blue: Riccardo Calafiori. Here too, as for Tonali, however, the economic sacrifice would be truly heavy.
