Juventus, four names in pole position to replace injured Chiellini
- Apollo Heyes
Yesterday, the 35-year-old Italian centre-back was seen on crutches consoling Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly following Juventus’ 4-3 triumph over Napoli, with Koulibaly’s 92nd minute own goal gifting the win to the Bianconeri. With his recovering time estimated to be between six and seven months, Juventus are keen to find a replacement for the defender before the transfer window closes tomorrow.
One of the names on the list will be most familiar to Juventus fans, that of 32-year-old Moroccan defender Mehdi Benatia, who spent three seasons in Turin before leaving this January for Qatari side Al-Duhail. Considering the player is fluent in Italian and knows the club well, this may be the obvious choice for the club.
