Ramy Bensebaini is one of the players Juventus have been targeting ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The Algerian plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach in the German top flight and is one of the best left-backs in the competition.
He has been superb this season and the Bianconeri have been following him.
Now they see him as a player who can replace the outgoing Alex Sandro.
Because he would be a free agent at the end of this season, several clubs also want to sign him on a pre-contract in the winter.
To get ahead of them, Juve wants to sign him definitively in January.
However, they have run into a potentially major issue with that, according to a new report.
Tuttojuve reports that he is not an EU player, which means that Juve can no longer sign him this season.
However, they can sign him permanently and allow him to stay on loan at the Germans until the summer.
Juve FC says
Bensebaini is one of the best left backs we can add to our squad, and we need to work to get him signed to our books, if he is our priority target.
But there are other EU players in the market that can do a job for us, and we should move for it only if it is a better option.
