    Dybala and Alex Sandro claim for more playing time at Juve

    Paulo Dybala and Alex Sandro Lobo Silva, or, simply, Alex Sandro are the two most expensive purchase of the last Juventus’ transfer market campaign. Despite this, the two South Americans are struggling with playing consistently under Massimiliano Allegri.

    The Argentinean striker is the Old Lady’s top-scorer having netted four goals thus far. The former Palermo star joined the Juventus Stadium on a € 32 million deal, plus € 8 million bonuses and he played five games as a starter and four coming off the bench this term.

    Massimiliano Allegri was recently blamed on social media by Juventus supporters for sidelining him until the last ten minutes in the San Siro face-off against hated rivals Inter.  

    Alex Sandro’s playing time is even less than Dybala’s. The former Manchester City target joined Juve on a € 26 million deal from the Portuguese giants Porto but in this moment he is nothing but the replacement of the 34 year old Patrice Evra.

    The powerful left-back played only 195 minutes thus far, but he is expected to start in tomorrow’s Champions League match against Borussia Monchengladbach.   

    It is fair to say that also Alvaro Morata struggled to play on a regular basis at the beginning of his first Juventus spell, while he become one of the Bianconeri’s mainstays in the second part of last season. Time will say if Dybala and Alex Sandro will follow the same path of the former Real Madrid.
