Juventus are in negotiations with David Alaba. The Austrian defender is about to leave Real Madrid for free, which makes him a highly desired player for the next summer market. The Bianconera team has already started contacts through Pini Zahavi, the agent who also handled Robert Lewandowski's transfer in previous weeks. Alaba's profile is attractive due to his quality, versatility and experience in winning. Furthermore, he would bring a winning mentality to the dressing room, a characteristic that Juventus is looking for in the market.
There is no shortage of competitors, as in addition to MLS and Saudi Arabia, Salisburg and Manchester United have also shown interest. However, Juventus is in the race and could move towards the acquisition after receiving guarantees from Real Madrid about the physical condition of the player, who had a season with just 16 games played.
Another player that Juventus considers to reinforce the defense is John Stones, who is also free after leaving Manchester City. The situation of Juventus' defense will also depend on the future of Gleison Bremer, who could be sacrificed to balance the club's financial accounts. The Brazilian has a release clause set at 58 million euros and is followed by several Premier League clubs.
