The Juventus backline is aging every season and needs reinforcements and young profiles. Giorgio Chiellini is past the point of playing weekly and Leonardo Bonucci is starting to show his age. Both defenders, however, are still reliable when they play, but that does not apply to a certain left-back who turned 31 years old this year and is experiencing an exponential decline.
Juventus are ready to part ways this summer with Alex Sandro whose time with the Old Lady is coming to an end. The Brazilian could be replaced by his compatriot Renan Lodi of Atletico Madrid. The 21-year-old could leave for around 20 million euros if the Spanish club accepts.
Lodi is included in a wide list of names to replace the aging Sandro. Among other names are on loan Udinese left-back Destiny Udogie and Genoa defender Andrea Cambiaso. Juventus also have Gianluca Frabotta coming back from loan in the summer. The left-back position will definitely be a position management will want to strengthen in the summer.
