- Dusan Vlahovic’s contract situation remains unresolved
- Gleison Bremer has also attracted interest from top European sides
Juventus stand on the brink of a potential squad exodus should they fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League. The Italian giants dropped vital points at home to relegated Verona at the weekend, leaving their top-four hopes hanging by a thread.
The stalemate against the bottom-placed side has intensified scrutiny on the Turin club. Failure to secure a place among Europe’s elite would have severe financial and sporting consequences, potentially forcing the Bianconeri to cash in on their most valuable assets.
Turkish attacker Kenan Yildiz sits high on the wishlist of Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez. Sources indicate the teenage talent remains committed to Juventus for now, yet the absence of continental football could severely damage the club’s bargaining position.
Meanwhile, English top-flight teams continue to monitor Francisco Conceicao. The Portuguese wide-man has caught the eye of several Premier League scouts with his performances this term.
Defender Gleison Bremer, who issued a public apology for his mistake leading to Verona’s equaliser, also features on the radar of leading clubs across the continent.
The situation surrounding Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic presents further complications. With contract negotiations at a standstill, the forward would reportedly be more willing to listen to offers from clubs boasting guaranteed Champions League status.
