Juventus eyes defensive signings: John Stones, Djed Spence, Tarik Muharemovic

Juventus is actively scouting to reinforce its defensive lineup ahead of the next season. The club has identified several targets, including Manchester City centre‑back John Stones, who could be obtained on a free transfer, and Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemovic, a former Juventus youth player now at Sassuolo, potentially available at half price with a 50 % future resale clause. Additional names under consideration are Bayer Leverkusen/ Bayern Munich centre‑back Kim Min‑Jae and Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi.

In addition, the Turin side is monitoring Tottenham left‑back Djed Spence, a 25‑year‑old regarded for his offensive thrust and tactical versatility. Tottenham is valuing Spence at €40‑45 million, a figure Juventus must weigh against its budget. Juventus also keeps Matteo Ruggeri on its radar for the left‑hand side. These moves are aimed at shoring up a back line that may lose centre‑back Bremer during the upcoming transfer window.
