Juventus are reportedly considering a move for Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic in the summer of 2027. Gazzetta dello SportThe 32-year-old has become a specific target for the Bianconeri, thanks in no small part to his contractual status at the Etihad Stadium.
Kovacic played for Inter Milan for two years in Serie A before joining Real Madrid in 2015. His contract will expire at the end of this season. Given his place in Enzo Maresca’s system, it’s difficult to imagine City offering him a new contract, which could open the door for a move to Juventus.
Luciano Spalletti is keen to strengthen his midfield options this summer. However, Juventus are hesitant to sign a new midfielder after Douglas Luiz returns from a season-long loan spell at Aston Villa. Nonetheless, Papu Matar Sarr arrived on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in the final hours of the transfer window.
Despite this, Kupmainas is expected to leave the Allianz Arena next June, with Kovacic named as a potential replacement. As well as the Croatian star, Juventus are also interested in RB Leipzig left-back David Laum and Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomoriboth will be available on free transfers next summer.
Our thoughts on Juventus and Kovacic
Despite failing to get regular first-team football at Manchester City, Kovacic remains one of the most highly-rated midfielders in the Premier League. His creativity and composure on the ball will add a new dimension to Spalletti’s powerhouse, especially with the departure of Kefren Thuram.
Kovacic also brings experience and a much-needed winning mentality to Juventus after spells at Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City. Needless to say, he would be a major victory for the record-setting Italian champion.
