Juventus are under pressure to generate €13 million in player sales by next Tuesday to improve their financial standing and avoid a further capital increase, according to reports in Italy. The club’s new sporting director, Giovanni Carnevali, is reportedly finding the situation challenging, with limited progress on incoming transfers and a standstill in outgoing deals.
This financial constraint dictates the club’s summer transfer strategy: player sales must precede any significant acquisitions. Furthermore, any new signings must have a lower financial impact on the balance sheet compared to previous recruits. The situation is complicated by the ongoing World Cup, which makes negotiating deals for players involved more difficult due to potential injuries and inflated valuations.
Despite reported interest from Premier League and Bundesliga clubs, Brazilian defender Gleison Bremer has expressed his desire to remain at Juventus, having recently voiced his expectation for the club to quickly return to winning ways. His release clause stands at €58 million, valid from July 1st. Similarly, Italy international Samuel Cambiaso is reportedly prioritizing a stay in Turin, though Chelsea and Barcelona remain potential suitors, and Juventus would consider a sale for around €40 million.
Juventus are also exploring potential departures to raise funds. Jonathan David is a potential candidate, but there have been no recent foreign bids. The club is considering a loan deal with an obligation to buy for Belgian forward Openda. Other players potentially on their way out include Fabio Miretti, who is in advanced talks with Bologna for a €15 million transfer, and Portuguese midfielder Joao Mario, who is also attracting interest from Bologna but prefers a move to Fiorentina. Negotiations with Atletico Madrid for Nico Gonzalez have stalled due to a valuation gap, while Arthur and Alessio Di Gregorio have been linked with a move to Besiktas, though Di Gregorio is holding out for offers from the English Premier League. The club is hoping to finalize some sales this week to kickstart their transfer activity.
