Juve works to sign a ‘Maestro’ – 3 names on shortlist

As the club continues evaluating possible departures, Juventus are also actively planning their incoming moves for next season, focusing particularly on strengthening the midfield with experienced and proven players.

According to La Stampa, the Bianconeri have identified three high-profile targets who could add leadership, quality, and international experience to the squad.

The players under consideration are Leon Goretzka of Bayern Munich, Franck Kessié currently playing for Al-Ittihad, and Portuguese international Bernardo Silva from Manchester City.

Each of them would bring a different profile but share the same key qualities: experience at the highest level and the ability to influence matches in midfield.

Juventus Target Experience to Reinforce Midfield

Juventus are expected to reshape their midfield in the upcoming transfer window, and the club’s strategy appears to focus on signing players with strong international backgrounds.

Goretzka, born in 1995, has long been one of Bayern Munich’s most reliable midfielders, combining physical strength with attacking contributions and leadership.

Kessié, born in 1996, is another profile that fits Juventus’ vision. The Ivorian midfielder previously enjoyed successful years in Serie A, establishing himself as a dominant presence thanks to his stamina, defensive awareness, and ability to control the tempo of the game.

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva, born in 1994, represents perhaps the most technically gifted option among the three.

Known for his creativity, intelligence between the lines, and versatility, the Portuguese star has been a key figure in Manchester City’s success in recent seasons.

Free Transfers Could Shape Juventus Strategy

A major factor making these players attractive targets is their contract situation. All three midfielders are reportedly approaching the end of their deals with their respective clubs, meaning they could potentially be signed on a free transfer.

Among the trio, Bernardo Silva appears to be the most difficult target to secure. His reputation, consistency at the highest level, and recent achievements with Manchester City have drawn interest from numerous clubs across Europe.

Juventus would therefore face intense competition if they decide to pursue the Portuguese playmaker.
Still, the Bianconeri remain attentive to opportunities in the market.

If circumstances align, Juventus could attempt to bring one of these experienced stars to Turin in what would be a significant reinforcement for the midfield ahead of the next campaign.
