A complex transfer situation is developing involving Juventus, Galatasaray, Bologna, and Como, centered around defenders Gleison Bremer, John Lucumì, and Davinson Sanchez. The situation arose from Galatasaray’s interest in Bremer, offering the Juventus player a contract worth €8 million per year, but Bremer is reportedly hesitant about a move to Istanbul, particularly after Juventus’ Champions League defeat to the Turkish side last season.
To that end, Bremer is cutting his vacation short, returning to Juventus training on Tuesday, two days earlier than scheduled, signaling his potential commitment to remaining with the club. Galatasaray has subsequently shifted their focus to Bologna’s John Lucumì, who is entering the final year of his contract and has been offered a €5 million per year deal. Bologna’s sporting director, Fenucci, confirmed that the club had promised Lucumì he could leave if a suitable offer – around €25 million – arrived this summer.
Juventus is also interested in Lucumì, seeking a left-footed central defender to partner with Federico Gatti. To gain an advantage in the pursuit of Lucumì, Juventus is exploring the possibility of including midfielder Fabio Miretti in the deal with Bologna, a player valued during previous discussions. However, Como is also entering the fray, seeking defensive reinforcements and targeting Galatasaray’s Davinson Sanchez.
Galatasaray had planned to use the sale of Sanchez to fund a move for Lucumì, but Como’s interest complicates matters. Currently, Como is prioritizing Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, and a successful deal with the English club would likely deprive Galatasaray of the funds needed to pursue Lucumì. This could leave Juventus as the frontrunner for Lucumì’s signature, potentially facilitated by the inclusion of Miretti in the transfer. The situation remains fluid, and a single move could trigger a domino effect across the four clubs.
