The atmosphere around Juventus continues to grow tense after another disappointing performance, and journalist Gianni Balzarini did not hold back in his latest comments on his YouTube channel.
Balzarini openly criticized the mental state of several Juventus players, focusing particularly on goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and defender Gleison Bremer.

According to Balzarini, Di Gregorio currently looks like a player overwhelmed by pressure and fear. The journalist pointed to the goal conceded against ACF Fiorentina as a clear example of the goalkeeper’s lack of confidence.
In his view, the Juventus shot-stopper hesitated in a decisive moment, making a technical choice that reflected uncertainty rather than conviction.
Balzarini explained that the issue goes beyond individual mistakes. He believes the entire defensive department appears nervous and fragile, especially when opponents attack down Juventus’ left defensive side.
The recurring defensive gaps, combined with a lack of composure, have exposed deeper problems within the squad.
Bremer’s Future in Doubt
The strongest comments, however, were reserved for Bremer. Balzarini suggested that the Brazilian defender is no longer fully focused on Juventus and may already be thinking about a move away from Turin.
After returning from a serious knee injury, the former Torino FC defender has struggled to rediscover his previous level.

Balzarini claimed that Bremer’s desire to “go and win something” is understandable, but also a sign that his cycle at Juventus could be coming to an end.
The journalist stated that if a club activates the defender’s release clause, reportedly worth between €56 million and €58 million, Juventus should allow him to leave without resistance.
Juventus Facing Major Changes
The comments arrive during a delicate moment for the Bianconeri, with uncertainty surrounding the club’s future ambitions and possible participation in European competitions next season.
Balzarini believes several players are no longer mentally free, and that this has heavily affected performances on the pitch.
For Juventus, the coming transfer window could therefore become one of major reconstruction, with important decisions expected regarding both the defensive line and the overall direction of the squad.
