At the back, Galatasaray's interest in Gleison Bremer has pushed the Bianconeri to start planning for life without the Brazilian centre-back. Bremer is considering his options, with around €50million required to convince Juventus to sell, and head coach Luciano Spalletti would need a top-level replacement lined up before sanctioning any exit.
One name has been on Juventus' radar for some time: Bologna's Colombian centre-back Jhon Lucumí. Bologna chief executive Claudio Fenucci addressed the club's position on the player directly.
"Lucumí can leave, because that's what we promised him last year," Fenucci said. "Let's see if an adequate offer arrives, and if it does we will let him go happy.
"If not, he stays with us."
Until recently, Lucumí's situation looked more clear cut. His Bologna contract included a €28million release clause valid until mid-July, but no club took advantage of it, despite interest from the Premier League as well as Turin. Any adequate offer is unlikely to fall far short of that figure, and it is not out of the question that Bologna would accept slightly less.
In attack, Juventus remain determined to bring Randal Kolo Muani back to Turin, though his return is far from guaranteed. Contacts with Paris Saint-Germain, according to Sky Sport, are ongoing, but the two clubs have yet to find common ground on the transfer fee.
The principal sticking point is PSG's valuation of around €50million, a figure the French club has shown little willingness to move away from, while Juventus continue trying to close the gap and soften Paris' position.
Juventus' hierarchy must now decide whether to revise their proposal once again and move closer to PSG's terms. The file remains open and talks between the two clubs continue, but a further step will be needed to reach an agreement. Kolo Muani remains a concrete target as Juventus keep working to bring him back into the fold, even as the €50million valuation, described publicly as excessive by new chief executive and general manager Giovanni Carnevali, forces careful consideration before any renewed offer is made.
Both situations underline the balancing act facing Juventus this summer: managing a potentially significant departure in defence while still chasing an attacking reinforcement that has proven difficult to secure. Spalletti will want clarity on both fronts before pre-season progresses much further.
