Milano Sport: Bremer’s Injury Has a Significant Impact on Juventus; Motta Relies on Emergency Measures; Pursuit of Arsenal Star in Winter Transfer Window

Italy’s Milano Sport has published a special article stating that Bremer’s injury will greatly affect Juventus’ combat effectiveness, and Juventus’ coach and manager may adopt a series of emergency measures to deal with the problem.

The report points out that the long-term absence of Bremer and Milik will almost certainly reopen Juventus’ acquisition window. Among these, especially the absence of Bremer is significant for Motta and Juventus, as this player is irreplaceable. Before his injury, he played all 636 minutes for Juventus, and when Gatti was absent, he even received the captain’s armband, further highlighting his leadership abilities. In many ways, he is the backbone of Juventus’ defense.

How will Juventus respond to Bremer’s absence? Milano Sport points out three methods. First, Gatti’s position is unshakable, Kalulu provides security as a core player, and Danilo can compete for more playing time, seeking more continuous appearances beside Gatti. Because there are such internal solutions, the team has ruled out the possibility of introducing unemployed players from the free market for now.

The second method is that the presence of players like Cavaller and Savona allows Juventus to consider switching to a three-defender system at certain stages of the game, which would enable some players who are not pure center-backs to also provide support to the defensive line.

The third method is that Juventus will actively participate in the winter transfer window. Milano Sport lists the name of Arsenal player Kiwior, who is on the fringes at Arsenal but is an old acquaintance of Motta during his time coaching Spezia. Italian media point out that Juventus’ transfer team has already begun planning for the player and started considering contacting the agent. In short, the senior management of the Bianconeri is already prepared to approve a “priority transfer channel” for the defense, aiming to bring in “players with international experience” and implying that there may be a decent budget for defender acquisitions. In contrast, in terms of forward acquisitions, Juventus will consider reducing the cost of transfers.
