Juventus have been linked with a move for Valencia defender Ezequiel Garay as they look to reinforce their back line.
With Leonardo Bonucci’s departure to Milan coming as a shock to many, it’s been suggested in the Italian press that Juve may invest in another centre-back.
The initial idea was to bring Mattia Caldara to Turin a year ahead of schedule, however Atalanta are adamant that they won’t release him until the end of his loan in 2018.
Spanish paper AS report that Max Allegri was unimpressed by the various pairings of Daniele Rugani and Medhi Benatia as well as Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli in Juve’s 4-man back line.
AS report that Juve could invest in a new defender before the market closes with both Valencia’s Ezequiel Garay and Porto’s Felipe named as possible targets.
It’s reported Garay is the more likely of the two given he holds an EU passport and the relations between the two sides are very good as they look set to do business again, this time for Gabonese midfielder Mario Lemina.
Oh, come on. Do we really need Garay? We still have Rugani an Benatia, thus we are using 4 backline. I mean, we have 4 very good centre back, why we should to sign another centre back?
I would really, really happy if we could buy someone above average, Hummels for Examples. But if we cant, then the squad we have now is enough.
Waste of money. Italian defenders are the best. Spend money in a defensive midfielder and we are done. Bring the young ones on.
If Felipe doesnt have a EU passport, he isnt an option at all. I wouldnt mind Garay, but I hope Rugani plays a lot more now.
Chiellini is the only CB guaranteed to start in my eyes.
