Juventus continue to reshape their plans for next season, with the club and Luciano Spalletti moving quickly to identify alternative targets after setbacks in two major transfer pursuits.
According to reports from TuttoJuve, the Bianconeri have already turned their attention to new profiles capable of strengthening the squad and raising the team’s overall quality.

After seeing their hopes of signing Bernardo Silva fade, with the Portuguese star now expected to join Atletico Madrid, and with a move for Alisson becoming increasingly difficult due to Liverpool’s stance, Juventus are exploring new opportunities in both defense and attack.
Kim Min-jae Emerges as a Defensive Priority
One of the names that most appeals to Spalletti is Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae. The South Korean international previously worked under the Italian coach during Napoli’s historic Serie A title-winning campaign and is considered an ideal candidate to reinforce Juventus’ back line.
Kim possesses many of the qualities highly valued by Spalletti, including physical strength, pace, defensive aggression, and composure in possession.
His arrival could become even more important should Gleison Bremer leave Turin this summer, creating the need for a proven defensive leader.
Although Kim has not yet reached the same exceptional levels he displayed in Serie A during his time at Napoli, his situation in Germany could potentially open the door for negotiations.
Brahim Diaz Considered for the Attack
In attack, Juventus have reportedly identified Real Madrid playmaker Brahim Diaz as a potential reinforcement.
Spalletti is well aware of the Moroccan international’s qualities, having closely followed his development during his years in Italian football.
While Diaz is often used as a rotation option at Real Madrid, Juventus believe he has the creativity, technical ability, and unpredictability needed to add a new dimension to the team’s attacking play.
His versatility between midfield and attack makes him a strong candidate to fill the creative role that had initially been earmarked for Bernardo Silva.
