Juventus monitoring Bayern Munich’s Raphael Guerreiro

Juventus are monitoring Bayern Munich full-back Raphael Guerreiro, whose contract is set to expire in June, and have already made initial enquiries for the experienced defender, according to a report from Alfredo Pedullà.

The 32-year-old Portuguese international presents an opportunity for clubs looking to secure a specialist left-sided player on a free transfer. Guerreiro has had limited opportunities at Bayern Munich this season, often being overlooked in favour of Josip Stanišić, which makes a move for more visibility a logical next step for him.

While the report confirms that the Juventus management “has so far only informed itself” about the situation without submitting a formal offer, the interest is concrete. The acquisition of a new specialist left-back like Guerreiro would allow Juventus to permanently move Andrea Cambiaso to the right flank, while also addressing the uncertain future of Filip Kostić, who is also nearing the end of his contract.
