Juventus on the hunt for a defender: the list of targets è long

Juventus evidently needs a new defender: with Juan Cabal and Gleison Bremer out, THiago Motta at the back has a very short blanket and Cristiano Giuntoli will surely move; in January.

The Bianconeri club's number one target è Milan Skriniar: who initially started well with PSG, an ankle problem kept him away from the field 3 months and subsequently è slipped back in Luis Enrique’s hierarchies. The French are willing to sell him even if there's the salary obstacle: the Slovakian earns more than 10 million euros in France, a figure he will surely have to revise if he wants to wear the bianconeri jersey.

Another alternative for the winter market is Ardian Ismajli: he does not cost much and is a viable option. The Albanian is performing well with Empoli and the Bianconeri interest cannot leave him indifferent.

In July, Juventus will probably lose Danilo and will have to invest again. For the summer, a big blow is on the horizon and some targets have already been identified: they really like Antonio Silva, a very young defender who is impressing everyone at Benfica. Also on Juve’s wish list is Dávid Hancko, captain of Feyenoord with a past at Fiorentina.
