Juventus has made a major move in the transfer market, urgently looking for a replacement for the injured Gleison Bremer. The bianconeri know that strengthening their defense is key to staying competitive this season. Meanwhile, Real Madrid was also considering possible defensive additions, although they have top-class players such as Éder Militão and Antonio Rüdiger.
Despite the solidity of their defense, Madrid is not ruling out improving the squad. This is where the Bayer Leverkusen center-back comes into play, whose name has been on the radar of several big European clubs, including Real Madrid. However, it is Juventus who seems most determined to secure his services, especially given the urgency of covering for Bremer.
The Future of the German Player Leans Towards Italy
Jonathan Tah has been one of the revelations in the Bundesliga, and his talent hasn't gone unnoticed. Although Real Madrid has shown interest in the German defender, Juventus seems to have the upper hand. The Turin club are willing to make a considerable financial effort to sign the center-back, who would be key in Massimiliano Allegri's scheme.
Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, will not easily give in to offers for Tah. But Juventus, in urgent need of strengthening their defense, seems determined to close this deal before other teams, such as Real Madrid, can interfere.
Juventus and Real Madrid: Different Approaches
While Juventus needs to replace Bremer immediately, Real Madrid can afford to wait for future opportunities. Ancelotti has a solid defense and doesn't have the same need as Allegri.
However, this doesn't mean that Los Blancos are completely ruling out the possibility of signing another center-back at some point. In this sense, Militão and Rüdiger have offered security and reliability, which allows Madrid to move calmly in the market.
On the other hand, Juventus can't afford that, as their situation requires an immediate replacement. Jonathan Tah is the man they've chosen, and the speed with which they have acted could be the key to sealing this transfer. Real Madrid, watching from a distance, will keep an eye out for any movement in the market that could benefit them in the long term. The difference is that they won't feel the pressure that la Vecchia Signora is facing.
