Juventus are continuing to reshape their squad ahead of the new season, with the club now focusing on strengthening the heart of the defense.
While the arrival of Muharemovic appears increasingly close, the Bianconeri are also determined to bring in another experienced centre-back as uncertainty continues to surround Gleison Bremer’s future in Turin.
Bremer remains one of Juventus’ most valuable assets, but interest from Bayern Munich has cast doubt over whether the Brazilian will still be wearing black and white next season.
Although no agreement has been reached, growing speculation has prompted the club’s hierarchy to explore potential replacements in case a major offer arrives.
Kim Min-jae Emerges as Juventus’ Top Defensive Target
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have never abandoned their pursuit of Kim Min-jae. The South Korean international has once again become the club’s preferred option to reinforce Luciano Spalletti’s defensive line.

Kim is no stranger to Spalletti, having enjoyed a highly successful spell under the Italian coach at Napoli.
Their previous partnership played a key role in Napoli’s Serie A title-winning campaign, and Juventus believe that existing understanding could help the defender settle quickly if a deal is completed.
Although Bologna defender Jhon Lucumí remains on Juventus’ shortlist, Kim is currently considered the leading candidate.
His experience at the highest level, combined with his familiarity with Spalletti’s tactical demands, makes him an ideal profile for the Bianconeri.
Bayern Talks Could Shape Juventus’ Defensive Plans
The report adds that Juventus are prepared to intensify discussions with Bayern Munich regarding Bremer, and those negotiations could directly influence the pursuit of Kim Min-jae.
Should Bremer leave Turin, Juventus would be expected to move quickly to secure the South Korean defender as his replacement.

The coming weeks could therefore prove decisive for Juventus’ defensive rebuild. With Muharemovic edging closer to joining and Kim Min-jae identified as the priority target, the club is actively preparing for every possible scenario while monitoring developments surrounding Bremer’s future.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, significant movement is expected as Juventus work to strengthen their back line before the new campaign begins.
