Juventus are reportedly considering moves for Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae, Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke, and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani, according to reports in Italy. The potential acquisitions are being viewed as attempts to bolster the squad for a return to Champions League contention and a challenge for the Serie A title.
Kim Min-jae, the 29-year-old South Korean centre-back, is a familiar face to Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti, having previously worked together at Napoli where they secured a Scudetto title. The pair enjoyed a successful partnership, and Kim is being eyed as a potential replacement for Bremer, who is expected to leave the club. However, a deal could hinge on Bayern’s willingness to negotiate a fee and Kim’s wage demands, which are described as substantial.
Koke, a 34-year-old veteran midfielder, has spent his entire career with Atletico Madrid and is a highly-regarded player known for his quality and work rate. While his experience would be valuable, concerns have been raised about the long-term suitability of signing a player nearing 35 years of age. The report suggests Juventus are seeking immediate impact rather than building for the future with this potential signing.
Randal Kolo Muani, 27, is the youngest of the three players linked with a move to Turin. Interestingly, Kolo Muani previously had a stint with Juventus in 2025. He is described as an atypical centre-forward, similar in style to Marcus Thuram, preferring to make runs in behind rather than acting as a traditional target man. Spalletti is believed to have a clear vision for how to utilize Kolo Muani within his system.
While these three players are seen as capable of strengthening the team in the short term, the report suggests Juventus are also seeking a more significant, statement signing to truly reignite the enthusiasm of the fanbase. Alisson and Brahim Diaz have also been mentioned as potential targets, but are not considered to be quite at the level of a ‘major coup’. Juventus last won a major European trophy in 1997, lifting the Supercoppa Europea, and are keen to end that drought.
