Juventus visit Lisbon on Tuesday for a must-win Champions League match against Benfica.
However, winning the match is not the only business they will do in the Portuguese city. They will also be on a scouting mission for one of their targets.
The Bianconeri could lose Alex Sandro, Adrien Rabiot and Angel di Maria, among others, in the free agency market at the end of this season.
They have already started looking for replacements and one player they consider to be the heir to Sandro’s place is Benfica’s Alex Grimaldo.
The Spaniard has been one of the best in Europe in his position for years at the Portuguese team and is now running out of contract.
Juve intend to add him to their squad in the summer and a report on Tuttojuve reveals that they will see him in the game on Tuesday.
Juve FC says
Grimaldo has done well at Benfica, but this game offers him the opportunity to show that he can deliver for us.
The likes of Federico Cherubini will be in the stands at the game and they will expect him to be at his best in the match.
If he passes this test, we should make the decision to sign him and probably make contact with his entourage before leaving Portugal.
