MiTi:Juventus intends to introduce Maignan and Roma defender Celik
6686 Sports November 13 According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus is eyeing market opportunities for low-cost or free transfers, including AC Milan goalkeeper Maignan and Roma defender Celik.
Maignan’s contract with AC Milan will expire in June 2026, and contract renewal negotiations between the two parties have long been stalled. It is reported that the French national goalkeeper is open to the Premier League, and Chelsea is regarded as a possible next club, but no decision has been made yet. Juventus hopes to seize the opportunity to intervene. Although it is difficult to compete with Premier League clubs in terms of financial strength, Maignan's stable performance in Italy, familiarity with Serie A, and connections with many French compatriots (Thuram, Kalulu) may be a bonus for the Bianconeri. Currently, Juventus is evaluating various options. Once Maignan is eligible to leave the team next summer, he will be one of Juventus' key signing targets.
At the same time, Juventus executives are also paying close attention to Roma defender Celik. The Turkey international, whose contract is also about to expire, played alongside Maignan at Lille. At present, Roma is actively promoting a contract extension, but Juventus has already made preliminary contact with it.
