This summer, Juventus carried out several operations related to the left back. However, none of that benefited Max Allegri’s current team.
The Bianconeri bought the services of Andrea Cambiaso from Genea and immediately loaned him to Bologna. Luca Pellegrini also left on a temporary basis by joining Eintracht Frankfurt. For his part, Gianluca Frabotta sealed not one but two exits during the same transfer session.
But at the end of the day, throwback Alex Sandro and Mattia De Sciglio remain the only options for the role.
So management will no doubt add a new name to the fold next summer, especially once Sandro’s contract expires.
According to JuventusNews24, Juventus are still following Benfica’s Alex Grimaldo, who was one of their transfer targets last summer.
The Spaniard stole the spotlight during his team’s Champions League opener against Maccabi Haifa last night. He provided the assist for Rafa Silva before scoring the second goal himself with a brilliant piece of magic, securing a 2-0 victory.
The source expects the Bianconeri to return the Barcelona youth squad next summer as he could be available as a free agent.
Coincidentally, Juventus will get a closer look at the left-back’s prowess next Wednesday when they host the Portuguese on matchday two of the Champions League group stage.
