Juventus maps out summer transfer plan, eyeing midfield and defensive reinforcements

Juventus, under new CEO Giovanni Carnevali and coach Luciano Spalletti, are shaping a multi‑player summer strategy. The club’s top midfield target is Slovakian Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka, whose €25 million release clause applies only to foreign clubs; Napoli is reportedly demanding at least €30 million and may consider a swap involving centre‑back Federico Gatti. Other midfield interests include Franck Kessie, whose wage expectations exceed €10 million per year, and a possible departure for Kolo Muani.

Defensively, Juventus have identified several priorities: Colombian centre‑back Jhon Lucumí (valued around €28 million), English Premier League star John Stones, and Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemovic, who could return with a 50 percent future‑sale clause. The club also monitors the market for exits such as Fabio Miretti to meet Financial Fair Play requirements and generate a €12‑13 million plus‑valenza before June.

Overall, Juventus aim to rebuild the squad while respecting budget limits, targeting both immediate upgrades and long‑term financial stability.
