La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus are interested in free agents Mike Maignan, Zeki Celik and Serge Gnabry, but the Bianconeri are facing stiff competition from Premier League clubs.
Juventus have already moved to sign three free agents in the summer of 2026, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The pink paper claims that Juventus have already opened preliminary talks for Milan goalkeeper Maignan, Roma defender Celik and Bayern Munich winger Gnabry.
The Bianconeri, however, are aware that competition to sign their targets will be tough. Chelsea, in fact, are still leading the race to sign Maignan after failing to reach an agreement with Milan last summer.
Juventus will likely be unable to match the Blues’ contract offer for the France international, but still hope to persuade the 30-year-old, also thanks to the French players in their team, Khephren Thuram and Pierre Kalulu.
Maignan is unlikely to sign a new contract with Milan and will demand more than his current €3m-a-year salary from any suitor.
Celik, on the other hand, is in talks with Roma, and sources from the capital suggest that the Giallorossi are confident of reaching an agreement with the Turkey international.
Juventus have also sounded out Gnabry’s availability, but the Germany international has also attracted interest from Liverpool, who are expected to outbid the Bianconeri in January, when they’ll be free to make a contract offer to the 30-year-old.
