Defender ratings: Bremer bounces back
Juventus finished 6th in Serie A, but the post-mortems are already rolling in. Black & White & Read All Over dropped their defender ratings for the 2025–26 campaign, and Gleison Bremer's return from an ACL injury is the big talking point. The Brazilian reclaimed his spot as the backbone of your backline after a grueling rehab, though the grades suggest the unit as a whole underperformed relative to expectations (2). With Bayern Munich sniffing around Bremer this summer, these ratings carry extra weight.
Kolo Muani: contact reopened, signals positive
Juventus have made fresh contact with PSG for striker Randal Kolo Muani and the signals coming back are encouraging (4). The French forward is back on the agenda after the club walked away from Sporting's Maxi Araújo, who is no longer considered a target (1). Italian papers this morning also name Kolo Muani as the name circled in red, the pursuit is real and active (8).
Alisson tops the wishlist, but three backups in play
Juventus have identified Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson as the primary summer target between the sticks (3). The move hinges partly on new Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola, if he reshuffles the goalkeeping hierarchy, the door could swing open for Juve (6). Either way, sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has three alternative names lined up should Alisson prove out of reach (3) (6).
Motta's contract termination being finalised
The club is close to formally removing former head coach Thiago Motta from the payroll (5). The severance package is being finalised, closing the book on a managerial stint that failed to deliver Champions League football. Chairman John Elkann has already publicly backed the current project with continued spending power, this is about clearing the decks financially and moving on (5).
Quick hits: Milan chaos, Pimenta's pitch
A broader Italian football roundup touches on Juventus alongside a Milan club in disarray and agent Rafaela Pimenta proposing a coach to the Bianconeri, though no names or details are confirmed (7). The Pimenta connection is worth monitoring given her growing influence in Turin dealings.
