As the Bianconeri lack structure and are seemingly quite brittle defensively this season, Juventus look to rectify this grave issue by bolstering the back-line in the summer market.
Milanese journal La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that former Napoli and current Bayern Munich defender Kim Min Jae is on the Old Lady’s short-list as the Korean’s future with the Bundesliga giants remains uncertain.Â
The 28-year-old’s rough patch of form this season has the Barvarians considering offloading the central defender and relieving him from his duties within the back-line after having arrived two years ago for a hefty €50m fee.
Hence, Juventus are keeping their tabs open given his experience within the Serie A, having played a pivotal role under coach Luciano Spalletti’s title-winning campaign throughout their time together at Napoli during the 2022/23 season.
Furthermore, the Bianconeri have added Fiorentina rising-star Pietro Commuzzo, whom has quickly rose up the ranks under Raffaele Palladino, having featured in 28 appearances for the Viola within the Serie A, cementing himself as a regular starter for the Tuscan side.
Finally, Juventus are earmarking 18-year-old Giovanni Leoni of Parma as an ideal candidate, given his impressive debut season for the Gialloblu as he made 12 cameos since his arrival from Serie B side Sampdoria.
