Juve market, Spalletti presents new list: two emergencies and the'attack to be remade
Juventus must get to work to become competitive again: Friday’s summit between Luciano Spalletti and the Bianconeri management marked the start of summer market planning. The deal for Alisson Becker has become complicated in the last few days, Liverpool will not give in and wants a significant fee for the Brazilian goalkeeper: Juve has to decide whether to continue on this path or change target completely.
Keeper aside, Luciano Spalletti has indicated two urgent needs in particular to be resolved quickly, according to reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport: a central defender and a world-class trequartista. For the backline, the name at the top of the list is Kim Min-Jae, who now has a secondary role at Bayern Munich and could leave in the summer. In the event of Bremer’s departure, the arrival of an experienced, world-class defender is essential, and the South Korean is undoubtedly a favorite target for Spalletti, who has already coached him at Napoli. Much will depend on Bayern’s request.
On the three-quarter, the name of Brahim Diaz has been mentioned: the former AC Milan player could leave Real Madrid and Spalletti wants to give him the role he would have given to Bernardo Silva, the target that has faded in recent days. In attack, it will be necessary to make a clean slate of the current forwards, apart from Dusan Vlahovic. The Tuscan coach emphasized the importance of the Serbian striker’s contract renewal, currently stalled after the latest talks between the player’s agents and the Bianconeri executives.
Having confirmed the former Fiorentina player, the other name in the Old Lady’s sights is Randal Kolo Muani: a meeting with Paris Saint-Germain, which after his loan to Tottenham is intent on selling him outright, is reportedly scheduled for next week. Alternatively, the Turin club is keeping an eye on Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta, an absolute star in the Conference League final. However, the French player was summoned to the World Cup by Deschamps and his price could rise significantly in the next month.
