Juventus are on the hunt for a new left-back as they prepare for the imminent departure of Alex Sandro at the end of this season.
The Brazilian has served them well, but as his contract expires, there is no indication that the club will extend his stay beyond that length.
Juve are now in place to update the former FC Porto player, and several names are popping up on their radar.
The left-backs they are keeping an eye on are Atletico Madrid’s Reinildo Mandava and Stuttgart’s Maximilian Mittelstädt.
Both defenders are players: Reinildo is already 30 years old and Mittelstädt is 27.
A report on Tuttojuve claims that they are players to watch as Juve look to strengthen their squad and make it as competitive as possible imaginable for next season.
Juve FC says
These players have experience in this role and play in the most sensible European leagues, but Reinildo happens to be in a better position to sign for us.
Not only is he betting on a bigger European club, but Atletico will be happy to do business with us, as he has not been a regular at their club, given the intensity of his talent.
