According to the Milan Sports Newspaper, Juventus, who just lost to Inter Milan by one goal in the early hours of this morning, is preparing to implement reforms to the team's backline this summer. After all, in the eyes of the Juve hierarchy, the Bianconeri can still only rank fourth in the league this season, they must make the team have the strength to compete for the title through reinforcements, and a solid defense is fundamental.
First of all, Chiellini, a veteran who turned 38 in August this year, may switch to the MLB this summer. The young De Ligt, who has not grown as expected since coming to Serie A, has been hovering directly between the main force and the substitutes, and his contract has two years to expire. Juve plan to sell the Dutch international for 85 million euros this summer to return the money for blood. And the players themselves are also considering changing the court to a platform that is more suitable for their own development.
As for De Ligt's replacement, Gimenez, who plays for Atletico Madrid, is Juve's target, and the 27-year-old Uruguay international has been booed by his own fans for poor play this season. His contract expires only in the summer of 2025, and while Atletico are interested in renewing his contract in the coming months, Atletico are also willing to listen to offers from other teams. However, Juve are not in a hurry to buy Gimenez, after all, his value has reached 50 million euros; moreover, Juve have signed centre-back Federico Gati from Serie B Frosinone in January this year, perhaps signing Gimenez in the form of a loan modeled on Morata, and it is not impossible to quit once Garti has performed well.
In addition to Gimenez, Juve are also interested in Chelsea centre-back Rudiger. The German international's contract expires this summer and has attracted the attention of many teams, and the Bianconeri need to compete with it. At full-back, two young players, Cambiasso and Bellanova, are also Targets for Juve.
