“We could always rely on Rapha on the pitch, and he is one of those characters who enriches any dressing room. Our discussions with him were constructive and based on trust and mutual understanding.
“We are now focusing, alongside him, on our goals for the rest of the season – there’s still a lot we want to achieve together.”
Guerreiro has so far made 89 competitive appearances for Bayern Munich, scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists.
Although primarily a full-back, he can also play in central midfield.
Juventus had already been linked with a possible swoop for the 32-year-old in January, where he would effectively replace Filip Kostic, another player who will be a free agent in July.

What happened
Bayern Munich have officially confirmed that Raphael Guerreiro's contract will expire on June 30, with both parties agreeing not to extend. The Portuguese left-back joined Bayern on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2023. Juventus have already been tracking Guerreiro as a potential signing and can now pursue him without a transfer fee. This opens the opportunity for the Serie A club to address their left-back position with an experienced, quality player at no cost.
Chance analysis
Guerreiro's free agent status removes financial barriers for interested clubs, making him an attractive acquisition. At 31 years old, he remains a capable defender with European pedigree. Juventus's prior interest combined with his availability creates a straightforward pathway to reinforce their defensive flank without expenditure, particularly if they move quickly before other suitors emerge.
Juventus gain an opportunity to sign an experienced Portuguese left-back on a free transfer, potentially strengthening their defensive options without financial outlay.
Guerreiro's free agent availability from June 30 makes him a likely target for Juventus to sign on a free transfer, impacting their left-back options and squad depth planning.
