Monday’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport paints a picture of a Juventus transfer window simultaneously advancing on multiple fronts — with the two most pressing questions of the summer, the trequartista and the goalkeeper, both moving towards resolution in different ways and at different speeds.
Spalletti’s Brahim Díaz Obsession: He Will Wait Until the Very End
The headline story is unambiguous: Luciano Spalletti is prepared to wait until the final day of the transfer window to land Brahim Díaz, so convinced is he that the Real Madrid playmaker represents the perfect solution for the number ten role in his system. That conviction has only deepened during the World Cup, where Díaz has delivered four assists for Morocco — a record for any African national team player in a single tournament. The performances have underlined every quality Spalletti has spoken about since he first identified the Moroccan as his primary creative target.
The obstacle remains immovable for now. Díaz himself wants to stay at Real Madrid and prove himself under José Mourinho, who arrived at the club this summer and is yet to give a definitive verdict on which players fit his plans. It is Mourinho, ultimately, who will decide Díaz’s fate — whether to keep him in an already crowded attacking midfield, or sanction a loan to one of Europe’s elite clubs. Spalletti will wait for that answer. Even if it comes on the last day of August.
Kolo Muani: The Fee Gap Persists but the Structure Is Agreed
On the striker front, Corriere dello Sport confirms that Juventus have made progress with PSG but the final fee gap has not yet been fully bridged. The bianconeri will not exceed €35 million in total — including the loan fee and the conditional obligation to buy — whilst PSG continue to hold at €40 million. The loan-with-obligation structure has been agreed in principle by both clubs. It is now a matter of one side blinking on the numbers.
Vicario: Tottenham’s Loan Offer Creates a Genuine Pathway
The most operationally significant development of Monday’s reporting concerns Guglielmo Vicario. With Alisson having proved impossible, Svilar emphatically unavailable, and Dibu Martínez’s cost remaining a challenge, Tottenham’s willingness to sanction a paid loan with a right to buy has given Juventus a clear, manageable route to solving their goalkeeping problem before pre-season begins on 13 July.
Vicario himself has already mentally departed from Spurs — having said his goodbyes and made clear to all parties that he is ready for a new chapter. His valuation, at approximately €20 million for a permanent transfer, makes the loan-with-option structure a particularly attractive formula for Carnevali, who can spread the financial impact whilst benefiting from the goalkeeper’s quality and experience immediately. Expect this one to move quickly in the days ahead.
Bremer: A Revised Valuation Emerges
One further detail from the Corriere dello Sport is worth noting. In contrast to the previous administration’s reported willingness to accept up to €55 million for Gleison Bremer, Carnevali’s regime is said to be working from a different and lower valuation. Whether Bayern Munich or another suitor will meet revised figures remains to be seen — but the signal that Juventus are prepared to be pragmatic rather than maximalist on the Brazilian’s price could accelerate a sale that would significantly reshape the club’s financial position and defensive plans in a single stroke.
