Juventus could well make its market within Real Madrid this summer. According to Tuttosportthe leaders of the Old Lady are closely monitoring several Madrid players likely to leave Casa Blanca in the coming weeks. Among them is Dani Ceballos, who had been sidelined by Alvaro Arbeloa and remains the leading candidate for departure. But the Spanish midfielder, who was hoping for a return to Betis, has so far received no concrete offer from the Andalusian club due to his salary demands.
A departure for Serie A could therefore be a good option, but Dani Ceballos is not the only player targeted by the Old Lady. Juventus is also monitoring the situation of Fran García, whose future seems to be written far from Madrid, particularly after the arrival of Marc Cucurella and the desire of the Merengue management to keep Alvaro Carreras. At 26, the Spaniard has the experience and profile sought by the Italian club, even if other avenues are also being studied to strengthen the left lane.
Luciano Spalletti dreams of Brahim Diaz
In Turin, another case attracts particular attention: that of Franco Mastantuono. Arriving with a lot of expectations from River Plate, the young Argentinian has not yet managed to establish himself at Real Madrid, particularly since the departure of Xabi Alonso. Juventus would like to take advantage of the situation to obtain a loan and offer playing time to the man who remains considered one of the greatest talents of his generation. The Bianconeri are also closely following Gonzalo García, even if his departure will largely depend on the choices of the Madrid staff and José Mourinho.
Finally, the Turin dream is called Brahim Díaz. The Moroccan international is the most prestigious target on this list, but also the most complicated to reach. Convinced of being able to establish himself under the orders of José Mourinho, Brahim is not considering leaving at this stage even if he remains Luciano Spalletti’s priority. In total, there are five Real Madrid players who appear in Juventus’s books, while the Merengue club is keen to make room in its squad to continue its big summer transfer window.
