Juventus market: Bremer knocked out, eyes on a central player who has already been a Serie A player
Juventus soccer market: Bremer’s injury has created a new emergency for the Bianconeri rearguard. And net of the solutions that Igor Tudor will have to make in the meantime (including the possible recourse to the four-man defense), the management is already working to identify a possible reinforcement to be hired as soon as possible. And one of the hottest names, in addition to the one already circulated of Milan Skriniar, represents an old acquaintance of Serie A level: Kim Min-Jae.
The 1996-born Korean center-back was one of the symbols of the Scudetto won by Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli in 2023, who moreover arrived in the Azzurri with some initial perplexity as he was called to replace a team totem like Kalidou Koulibaly. Paid just 19.5 million by Fenerbahce, his impact on the team was instead such that he attracted the attentions of Bayern Munich, which just a year later bought him for the sum of 57 million.
Kim’s Bavarian adventure has since proved rather up and down, but this year in particular the Korean seems to have fallen out of the preferences of his current coach Vincent Kompany. Indeed, Bayern Munich’s current hierarchies see him as a luxury back-up, an aspect that could facilitate a negotiation with Juventus as early as January.
Kim’s move to bianconero could in fact do the good of all parties involved: the player, who is not finding space, Bayern Munich, which could get rid of a far-from-irrelevant salary, and of course Juventus, which wants to fill the pawn left empty by Bremer with a top name. There’s obviously the formula of the operation to be defined: the Piedmontese management would like to snatch a loan, to be verified the Bavarians’ willingness to say yes.
