Gleison Bremer’s injury is forcing Juventus to make some unbudgeted reasoning, such as buying a new central defender already in the winter soccer market session.

The Bianconeri management wants a player immediately ready, which is why of the 3 profiles being monitored there are 2 former Serie A players. The profile that the Old Lady likes the most is Kim Min-jae, who is struggling to play for Bayern Munich after the Bavarians bought Jonathan Tah in the summer.

The South Korean is a former Serie A player.

The South Korean wants to revive himself and play with more continuity but there’s the salary obstacle: the former Napoli player earns more than 9 million euros annually in Germany. The Bianconeri will make an attempt but the situation is not easy.

Among the profiles sounded out is also that of Milan Skriniar, an old Juventus darling who now plays for Fenerbahce. Strongly wanted by Jose Mourinho, it seems he was very disappointed after the Portuguese’s farewell, so much so that he is considering a winter transfer.

The third profile evaluated by Juventus is that of David Affengruber, a rocky Austrian who is performing well in La Liga with the Elche shirt. Despite being just 24 years old, the former Sturm Graz defender is churning out performances as a seasoned central. The excellent performance in Spain has made Juventus and not only Juventus raise their antennae: it seems there are also some English clubs on his trail.
