Juventus insist on Barcelona defender Jordi Alba
Alba and Grimaldo, alternatives to Marcelo of Real Madrid
Alex Sandro’s situation (his contract ends in 2020 and there is no renewal agreement) has made Juventus pay heed to the availability of other top full backs on the market.
This is what 'Tuttosport' say, who also highlight that Jordi Alba is one of the players the Italian team is most interested in. The defender has already lamented on several occasions that he has no news from Barca about his renewal, and Juve are following his footsteps.
Alba’s contract ends in 2020, and despite his great performances, the Catalan club have not yet proposed an improvement. The defender, who has also returned to the national team, is one of the options that Juve are looking after, but not the only one.
According to this information, Madrid defender Marcelo would remain Juventus’s big hope. The Italian club is still dreaming of putting Cristiano and Marcelo back on the same team.
Another option is the ex-azulgrana, Grimaldo, who has consolidated at Benfica, where he is one of the important pieces of the team.
