Juventus are 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 a way to bolster the squad for a return to Champions League contention and challenge for Serie A honors.
Kim, 29, is a South Korean centre-back currently playing for Bayern, where he joined in 2023. Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is familiar with the player from their successful time together at Napoli, where they won the Scudetto. Kim is being eyed as a potential replacement for Bremer, who is reportedly set to leave the club. However, a deal could be complicated by Bayern’s valuation of the player and his high wage demands.
Koke, 34, has spent his entire professional career with Atletico Madrid, becoming a club legend. The Spanish midfielder is known for his quality and work rate, but his age raises questions about whether he fits Juventus’ long-term plans. He will turn 35 in January.
Randal Kolo Muani, 27, is the youngest of the three targets and is currently with Eintracht Frankfurt. Interestingly, Kolo Muani previously had a stint with Juventus in 2025. Spalletti is reportedly keen on utilising the French forward, who shares similar characteristics to Marcus Thuram, favouring runs in behind rather than acting as a traditional target man. Kolo Muani is perhaps best known for missing a crucial opportunity in the 2022 World Cup final between Argentina and France.
While these three players are seen as capable of providing immediate impact, the report suggests that Juventus are also looking for a more significant, statement signing to truly excite the fanbase. Alisson and Brahim Diaz have also been mentioned as potential targets, but may not represent the level of ambition the club is seeking. Juventus finished third in Serie A last season and will compete in the Europa League next season.
