Juventus Transfer Market: Two Star Signings for Defense and Midfield—One Is Kim. Negotiations Are at an Advanced Stage

Juventus and Bayern Munich are currently in talks and are considering a possible trade that could materialize in the coming weeks. The Bavarians have expressed interest in Brazilian defender Gleison Bremer, while Juventus has set its sights on Bayern center back Kim Min-Jae, who is coming off three underwhelming years in Germany.

Bayern considers Kim available for transfer, and Luciano Spalletti would welcome the player—with whom he won the Serie A title at Napoli—with open arms. The deal is ongoing and could see significant developments shortly. Juventus has set Bremer’s price at 40 million euros. Among the alternatives for the defense is Bologna center-back John Lucumì, who, however, costs 28 million and also has suitors in the Premier League.

In midfield, attention is increasingly focused on Leon Goretzka. The German international has returned from North America following Germany’s disappointing performance at the 2026 World Cup and is considered a top priority by Spalletti, who is looking for charisma and physicality in midfield.

Goretzka is currently a free agent and would join on a free transfer: interest from English clubs has cooled, and the Turin-based club has stepped back into the fray, re-establishing contact with the player’s agents. Juve wants to understand his financial demands before making an initial offer to the player, who was previously sought after by Milan.
