Juventus midfield crisis: Milinkovic-Savic linked, Bremer eyed by Premier League | OneFootball

Juventus finds itself grappling with a struggling midfield. Defensive issues have been evident in recent matches, but the real problem seems to lie in the lack of protection offered by the midfield. While the attack is not a concern and continues to deliver quality, the central area of the field appears to be struggling.

Juventus, midfield emergency: the Milinkovic-Savic hypothesis returns. Bremer in the sights of the Premier League

Milinkovic-Savic, an old dream that can be rekindled

The Bianconeri club focused mainly on the offensive department in the summer, without making significant interventions in the midfield. However, the market strategies for January could change.

The name of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, former star of Lazio and currently at Simone Inzaghi's Al Hilal, has come back into fashion. The Serbian midfielder's contract will expire in June 2026, but there could be a chance to bring him back to Serie A in the coming months.

"His future is still to be written, but it is not ruled out that a return to Italy could become a reality," sources close to the Bianconeri environment underline. The operation would not be prohibitive: given the imminent expiry, Al Hilal could accept a modest sum to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

Despite being 30 years old and a year away from European football, Milinkovic-Savic remains a profile capable of guaranteeing physicality, experience and technical quality. He would be the ideal reinforcement to give respite to Thuram, who has appeared faded in recent outings against Borussia Dortmund and Verona.

Bremer, assault from England

While Juventus is interested in the incoming market on one hand, on the other it has to defend itself from advances towards its jewels. Gleison Bremer, a pillar of Tudor's defense, is in the sights of the top English clubs.

According to the latest rumors, Liverpool and Manchester United have included the Brazilian central defender among the priorities for the next market. Juventus' first setback in the league came precisely in the match where Bremer was rested: a detail that certifies his specific weight within the team.

The Bianconeri club considers the defender one of the pillars on which to build the reconstruction. However, the interest from the Premier could soon become a concrete threat. Juventus will have to be convincing, both from a technical and economic point of view, to secure the player and avoid a sale that would leave a difficult void to fill.
