As the January transfer window approaches, Juventus is gearing up to make a move for a new defender. The Bianconeri’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, recently revealed in an interview that the team is on the hunt for a central defender, with the aim of strengthening the backline and replacing Bremer.
Giuntoli’s words were music to the ears of many Juventus fans, who have been crying out for reinforcements in the defensive department. And it seems that the Italian champions are wasting no time in getting their man. The question on everyone’s lips is: who will it be?
One name that has been consistently linked to the Bianconeri is that of Milan Skriniar, the PSG star who has been touted as a potential target for Juventus. While there have been whispers of a possible move, the salary demands of the Slovenian international may prove to be a major stumbling block.
Another option on the radar is that of Parma’s young defender, Hato Ismajli. The 23-year-old has impressed scouts with his performances for the Tuscan club, and is reportedly a favourite of Giuntoli’s. However, the question marks surround the price tag attached to the young Albanian-Kosovar defender, which could be a major hurdle for Juventus to overcome.
As the transfer window heats up, Juventus fans will be watching with bated breath to see who will be the next big signing. With the team’s squad undergoing a revamp, the addition of a top-class defender could be the piece of the puzzle that propels the Bianconeri to the next level. Only time will tell who will be the hero of the day, but one thing is for certain: the suspense is killing us.
