Antonio Rudiger, Gleison Bremer and Nikola Milenkovic are Juventus‘ main targets to replace Giorgio Chiellini next season.
The Italy international could leave the Allianz Stadium in the summer despite a contract expiring in June 2023. Both the defender and his agent Davide Lippi have confirmed that they’ll talk to the club at the end of the season to decide on the future. Following Italy’s World Cup elimination, Chiellini could retire or move to the MLS for the final year of his career.
Antonio Rudiger is Juventus’ primary target for 2022-23. His contract with Chelsea expires in the summer and La Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that he has already reached an agreement with the bianconeri. However, Il Corriere dello Sport denies that the two parties have an agreement in place. The agent of the Germany defender was also spotted in a meeting with Barcelona directors in March.

According to the report, there is still a substantial gap between Juventus’ offer and Rudiger’s request.
Gleison Bremer is also being monitored by the Bianconeri, although Inter are leading the race to sign the Brazilian defender.
The Nerazzurri have an agreement with the 25-year-old but have yet to agree to a transfer fee with Torino. Il Corriere dello Sport doesn’t mention Nikola Milenkovic, but the Fiorentina defender has also been linked with a move to Turin, although he is not Juventus’ No.1 choice for 2022-23.
The Bianconeri have already secured the services of 23-year-old Federico Gatti, who will move to Turin in the summer after the end of his loan spell at Frosinone in Serie B.
