Juventus Turin: Chiellini’s successor plays at AS Monaco
Despite the emergence of Matthijs De Ligt, Juventus Turin’s defense is ageing. To renew it, the Bianconeri targeted a central defender from AS Monaco, Benoît Badiashile.
Fourth in Serie A and eliminated in the knockout stages of the Champions League, Juventus Turin left to end a delicate season, far from the objectives set at the start of the season. Composed of Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Daniele Rugani and Matthijs De Ligt, the central defense of the Bianconeri needs new blood despite the emergence of the Dutchman. To renew its workforce, the Old Lady plans to enlist a young prospect from AS Monaco.
According to information relayed by calcium Mercato, Juventus Turin is relaunching the trail leading to Benoît Badiashile. Already targeted by AS Monaco during the last summer transfer window, the Frenchman is once again coveted by the Bianconeri in order to continue the legacy of Giorgio Chiellini. Even if Massimiliano Allegri appears in preference to a more experienced prospect with Antonio Rudiger, the German international is particularly greedy which could transmit his arrival in Italy into question. It was to overcome Rudiger’s failure that Federico Cherubini went to the Rock to meet the 21-year-old central defender’s entourage. Nevertheless, despite the progress of this track, Monegasque requests would cool the Turinese who could favor other players such as Kalidou Koulibaly or Gleison Bremer.
