Juventus eyeing free transfers: Maignan and Çelik on their radar | OneFootball

Juventus is planning their market moves well in advance for the next year, and among the management's strategies is to take advantage of free transfer opportunities. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri are closely monitoring two interesting profiles already playing in the Serie A: Mike Maignan from Milan and Zeki Çelik from Roma.

Milan, Maignan on the way out: Juventus ready to welcome him

The French goalkeeper, a key player for the Rossoneri, has long been at the center of transfer rumors. Negotiations for a renewal with Milan have stalled, and Chelsea's interest has made his future even more uncertain. Juventus, aware that they cannot compete financially with Premier League clubs, remains on standby: Maignan feels comfortable in Italy and might consider a move to Turin, where he would reunite with former teammates like Kalulu and Thuram.

A different but equally interesting situation is that of Zeki Çelik. The Turkish full-back from Roma, also nearing contract expiration, has already been approached by the Bianconeri management, who are considering strengthening their wings for the next season. Juventus has reportedly slowed down the talks between the player and the Giallorossi club to try to insert themselves into the negotiation.

On the Juventus executives' list is also Serge Gnabry from Bayern Munich, but his high salary and competition from Liverpool make the operation complicated. However, the idea of building a younger, sustainable, and competitive Juventus remains clear: to seize every opportunity to raise the technical level without disrupting the finances.
