TOP STORY: Juve plot next defensive moves
Juventus saw plenty of action in the 2022 summer transfer window, but now that it is over they are already looking ahead to next few windows, according to Tuttosport.
Alex Sandro will leave as a free agent in the summer and will be replaced, but the main focus for the Bianconeri is to bring in a new left-footed centre-back as their current options — Leonardo Bonucci, Bremer, Daniele Rugani and Federico Gatti — are all right-footed.
The Serie A giants are looking towards Arsenal‘s Gabriel and Eintracht Frankfurt‘s Evan Ndicka to fill that role, with the latter’s contract ending in the summer of 2023.
It is suggested that Juventus are also looking at Fiorentina‘s Igor Julio, who has been on their radar for a matter of months.
They were able to watch the Brazilian in closer detail on Saturday, as the 24-year-old was at the heart of Fiorentina’s defence for the full 90 minutes as they drew 1-1 against Juventus after recovering from going behind in the ninth minute.
Having faced Dusan Vlahovic last season and Arkadiusz Milik — who scored Juve’s goal — this term, it is felt by those within Juventus that they will have precious notes to call upon in January and June.
