Juventus wants Greek giant for defense

Juventus is hard at work not only in attack with the sensational Lukaku deal, but also in defense to reinforce Massimiliano Allegri’s defensive department ahead of next season after Leonardo Bonucci’s forced farewell.

On Giuntoli and Manna’s purchase list is Greek defender Konstantinos Mavropanos, a 25-year-old central forward from Stuttgart also in the sights of Napoli. Another 1.94 cm tall at 90 kg, Mavropanos is not only physically powerful but also good with his feet. He is valued at around 20 million euros and a duel with Napoli, looking for a replacement for Kim, is on the horizon.

Juventus also likes Southampton center-back Armel Bella-Kotchap, a talented 21-year-old German, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

As for possible outgoing operations, both Alex Sandro and Rugani are in the balance, but Bremer himself could also say goodbye if a €60 million offer arrives.
