Juventus plan 2019 swoop for Real Madrid star; the details

Juventus plan 2019 swoop for Real Madrid star; the details

According to what has been reported by Italian newspaper Tuttosport today, Juventus will, in 12 months, try and sign Real Madrid’s Brazilian left-back Marcelo. Marcelo has been linked with Juventus since the Old Lady’s €110 million purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo, who played with Marcelo at Madrid; creating a strong working relationship on the left hand side of the field.
 
However, Juventus did not move for Marcelo this summer due to fiscal reasons; the club not wanting to spend more than they can sell – and, with Alex Sandro temporarily remaining in Turin, after reported interest from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, it did not make sense to pay for a player who was unneeded.
 
Tuttosport suggest that Juventus will try and lure Madrid into selling by presenting Florentino Perez with a €50 million offer but only after Alex Sandro leaves or agrees to join another club in principle. Marcelo currently earns €11 million per season at Madrid, so Juventus would likely need to cough up big, yet again, to secure one of Real Madrid’s top talents.
