Historically looking for a central defender

The Juventus which lost the Brazilian almost until the end of the season Gleison Bremer due to a torn cruciate ligament, he will go to the winter market to sign a player who can strengthen the defense of Thiago Motta.

In Bremer On the field, Juventus have conceded just one goal this season. It was in the Champions League against PSV, in added time of a match that ended 3-1 in favor of the Turin team.

However, since Bremer was seriously injured, the ‘vecchia Signora’ lost all defensive authority and scored 8 goals in 7 games.

Motta, who has Frenchman Pierre Kalulu as his starting centre-back, rotates with Italian Federico Gatti and Brazilian Danilo in the position to fill, although not yet fully settled in the eleven .

Danilo appears as Motta’s slight favourite, but in recent games he has been singled out for serious mistakes that have allowed rivals to score goals. He was sent off for taking a penalty against Stuttgart, took another against Inter and was unsuccessful against Parma. The situation forces Juventus to wait for the winter market, which they will go to strengthen their position.

“If it is January 2 and you have the pen to close a contract, will you close it for a central defender or a forward?: A central defender,” Cristiano Giuntoli, the club’s sporting director, is blunt told DAZN.

On the horizon looms Slovakian Milan Skriniar, former Inter captain who is not a key part of Luis Enrique’s PSG.

“At the moment it is premature to talk about the market because things change all the time. We are waiting for the winter window, we will see what happens,” he added.

This week, Juventus will face Lille in the Champions League, in an important match to get closer to the round of 16; and will host Torino at home, in the so-called ‘Derby della Mole’ among the Turin teams.
