Due to the rapid decline of Alex Sandro, Juventus are in dire need of a left-back as soon as possible.
In recent weeks, Alex Grimaldo has emerged as the favorite candidate in Federico Cherubini’s list.
The 27-year-old has been plying his trade at Benfica since 2016. However, his contract is due to expire at the end of the season and he has no intention of renewing it.
The Spaniard is looking for a move to a big club, and the Bianconeri hope to secure his services as a free agent in June or even for a reduced price in January.
But according to TuttoJuve, the Italians will face competition from Barcelona, ​​who have identified Grimaldo as the perfect long-term heir to Jordi Alba.
The Benfica winger is a youthful product of the Catalan giants, growing up at the club’s famed La Masia academy.
Therefore, the idea of ​​a return home can be tempting for both the player and the Blaugrana.
Juve FC says
When it comes to putting the most desirable names on the market, you can always expect to have competition along the way.
Grimaldo’s talent and status are sure to attract a host of suitors, so Juventus must stay ahead of the competition by moving quickly if they really want to secure the services of one of the most sought-after names on the market.
