The Juventus head coach made his requirements clear during meetings with the club's sporting hierarchy. For the attacking position, attention has focused primarily on Alexander Sørloth.
Tuttomercatoweb reports that Juventus officials travelled to Oslo for discussions with the Norwegian's representatives, and that Sørloth himself has given full approval to a move to Turin. His salary demands are described as entirely manageable. Conversations with Atletico Madrid over a separate matter — the potential return of Nico González on a permanent basis for approximately €27-28m, after the Spanish club chose not to trigger the purchase obligation from his loan — are understood to be running in parallel.
For the goalkeeping position, the situation is more complicated. Juventus had hoped to secure Alisson Becker from Liverpool but the English club have made clear he is not for sale under any circumstances.
The search for alternatives has led back to two names that have been circling Italian football for weeks — Emiliano Martínez of Aston Villa and Guglielmo Vicario of Tottenham Hotspur. Tuttomercatoweb reports that Vicario is now leading internal discussions at Juventus, with the club having made direct contact with Tottenham over the former Empoli goalkeeper. Martínez remains a consideration but faces a potential hand operation after the World Cup, which could create a timing problem.
In defence, Spalletti has worked with Kim Min-jae previously and wants the South Korean centre-back at Juventus. A verbal agreement with the player is understood to have been reached. The obstacle is Bayern Munich's asking price of €40m — a figure Juventus sporting director Damien Comolli considers excessive given Kim's difficult season in Munich, where he lost form and found himself rotated more heavily than expected.
Comolli's position is that negotiations at that level make no sense, and he will seek alternatives unless Bayern lower their demands. The possible sale of Gleison Bremer — who can leave via a €54m release clause from July 1 — could generate the funds needed to make Kim affordable.
