Exclusive: Juventus won’t sell promising defender to Barcelona

Barcelona are still looking for a replacement for Dani Alves given that the Camp Nou hierarchy have yet to sign a right back who can fill the boots of the experienced Brazilian star who will be one of the big players involved in tonight’s Champions League final between Juventus and Real Madrid.

According to reports in Spain, Barcelona have set sights on Juventus loanee star Pol Lirola who is contracted with the Old Lady but will spend the next season on loan at Sassuolo. Lirola has already spent one season on loan at the Mapei Stadium
Sources close to Juventus have told calciomercato.com that Lirola is not for sale and that the club won’t even listen to offers for the product of Espanyol academy.

Lirola will make return to the J Stadium in 2018 which is when the contract of Dani Alves expires. The U21 Spain International has four years left in his contract with Juventus and he’s going to be the permanent replacement of Dani Alves starting from the 2018/19 campaign.
