18 nov 2018

Juventus are preparing a Cancelo-like operation for the next transfer session. According to Corriere dello Sport, Paratici is thinking of Alejandro Grimaldo, Benfica left-back to replace Alex Sandro, whose future remains in doubt.

Sandro's contract expires in 2020 and he does not seem willing to renew with Juventus. Meanwhile, other targets such as Jordi Alba and Marcelo are almost unreachable.

Grimaldo, in his style of play, has similar characteristic to his colleague Cancelo. Both are equipped with great technique and dribbling. The Spaniard, just like the former Inter man, can also play in a more advanced position in a 4-2-3-1 or even in a 4-3-3. Across all competitions, Grimaldo has already scored 2 goals and assisted 1 for Benfica.
