The uncertainties of the present are prompting Juventus to look ahead and take action in defense. Bremer alone cannot suffice, and with Rugani’s exit, a graft of experience and international depth will be needed to raise the level of the department. The Bianconeri are closely monitoring the situation of Marcos Senesi, who is expiring with Bournemouth, while as for Gatti, several Premier League clubs are following him and a departure in the summer cannot be ruled out.

The physical problems Bremer suffered in Istanbul once again highlighted Juventus’ dependence on the Brazilian center-back. With Galatasaray, the Brazilian stopped in time, avoiding a more serious injury: the stop should be short. The goal is to recover for the playoff return leg at Allianz Stadium, although the feeling is that he has been dragging his feet for months, coming back from injury and playing most of the time, often gritting his teeth.

The Old Lady’s economic resources are not unlimited and the management intends to move carefully. The idea is to seize a zero-parameter opportunity to reinforce the department: Senesi’s profile intrigues a lot, also because of his ability to play on the center-left, a characteristic considered a priority at Continassa.

He is not the only name on the notebook but he is the one on which they are working with more conviction. On the table could come a contract proposal of between three and four years, with a salary around 4-5 million plus performance-related bonuses.

At the same time, Juventus is aiming to armor Kalulu, who is close to renewal, while Gatti’s position seems more uncertain: the English sirens are making themselves heard and the summer could bring news on his front as well.
