For one reason or another, Juventus were unable to address their left-back issues during the summer transfer session, leaving Max Allegri without decent options in this particular department.
Alex Sandro and Mattia De Sciglio are the main options at the moment, and neither have been able to impress in their recent outings.
Therefore, the Bianconeri are already monitoring various options for next season, and the main target could be their next opponent on the pitch.
This Wednesday, Juventus will host Benfica at the Allianz Stadium for an all-important Champions League clash. This will allow the hierarchy to take a closer look at Alex Grimaldo.
The 26-year-old was the main star of his team’s show during the first group match against Maccabi Haifa, walking away with a goal and an assist to his name.
The Spaniard’s current contract expires at the end of the season, and the Old Lady hopes to secure his services on a free transfer.
But according to CNN Portugal via ilBianconero, Juventus will face stiff competition from Inter, who are looking for a left-back. The two Italian rivals often clash on the market over common transfer goals.
Grimaldo is a youth product of Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, but has been sharpening his tools at Benfica since 2016.
