Juventus wants to fish in Real Madrid

Turin's Juventus aims to shake up the summer transfer market with an ambitious recruitment strategy focused solely on the Santiago Bernabéu. The Italian squad's sports management has devised a plan to fish from the current European champions and add young talents Franco Mastantuono and Gonzalo García, as well as seeking the incorporation of Fran García. The Juventus transfer market will be one of the most interesting in Serie A.

The Serie A club's offices are bustling this June 2026, seeking to capitalize on the internal restructuring happening at the Merengue club. The Italian team wants to strengthen all its lines with professionals who do not have the desired playing time in Spain, opening up a triple negotiation route in the capital.

Vecchia Signora's sports management is confident that good institutional relationships will facilitate commercial negotiations before the closing of the transfer window. Informal discussions have already begun, painting a scenario where the transfer of players from Madrid to Piedmont promises to dominate headlines.

Juventus aims to poach from Real Madrid

The first major front opened for Juventus is in the offensive sector, where winger Gonzalo García was on the exit ramp. Reports from Marca confirmed that the Merengue academy player was very close to packing his bags for Italy with the clear goal of achieving more professional regularity.

However, the new Real Madrid head coach, Portuguese José Mourinho, has forcefully intervened in the operation to halt any defensive exits or transfers. The Setúbal coach has ordered a temporary halt to all institutional talks, informing Florentino Pérez of his express desire to personally assess the player during the preseason.

This decision by the Portuguese coach has completely frozen negotiations, forcing the Italian emissaries to await a definitive resolution. Meanwhile, the player's surroundings remain calm, viewing this waiting period as an incalculable opportunity to earn a place under the orders of a historic coach.

Interest in Fran García amid Real Madrid's profound lateral reconfiguration

The left flank of the Piedmontese team is another of the priority areas that the technical department urgently seeks to reinforce during this summer period. Analysts at Tuttosport have revealed that Juventus is closely monitoring the current situation of left back Fran García, whose continuity in the Madrid squad seems completely unfeasible for the upcoming season.

At 26 years old, the left-back has seen his opportunities in Bernabéu's defense diminish due to the international arrival of Marc Cucurella. This summer signing, coupled with the White's board's firm determination to keep academy player Álvaro Carreras in the first team, compels the former Rayo Vallecano player to seek playing time away from Spain.

The defender's profile and his proven European experience fit precisely into the demands of the Italian tactical system. However, the neroazzurri team is not ruling out other alternatives on the continental stage, keeping all options open to cover the left flank.

Auction for the loan without purchase option of Franco Mastantuono

The third key name that has emerged in negotiations is that of the skillful Argentine attacking midfielder Franco Mastantuono. The Albiceleste midfielder landed in the Spanish capital in June 2025 through a galactic operation that exceeded 63 million euros paid to River Plate.

His first European journey was not easy due to untimely physical issues and notable tactical misunderstandings on the field, first under the guidance of Xabi Alonso and later under Álvaro Arbeloa. In total, the South American scored 3 goals in 35 official matches spread over 1,484 minutes of play.

Real's management recognizes that the midfielder is not yet ready to take the lead in Chamartín, so a temporary loan is deemed the best solution. Reports from CalcioMercato and SPORT confirm that Juventus will compete in a massive bidding war against clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, Villarreal, Porto, Sporting CP, Benfica, Inter Milan, River Plate, and Rennes for a loan that will not include any future purchase option.
