We’ve covered it for years, but Alex Sandro’s exit from Juventus has never taken place.
The Brazilian appears to be on his way out from Turin every summer, with big clubs such as Manchester United reportedly circling, and yet he remains in Italy, playing most games.
The 29-year-old has three years left on his contract, so an exit isn’t urgent, but the rumours keep circling.
Corriere dello Sport seem to somewhat piggyback off a previous report from Calciomercato, claiming there is a ‘renewed interest’ from Manchester United for the left-back.
It makes some sense, since there’s a feeling that’s a position the Premier League club could improve upon, but to go as far as spending large sums of money on a player close to his thirties seems to contradict what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is trying to do at Old Trafford.
It’s said Juventus ‘could listen to the sirens’ if an offer of ‘at least €40m’ is made, at which point the Serie A side ‘could consider the idea of giving up their number 12’.
That’s a lot of money, especially with more pressing gaps to fill in United’s squad, and seeing how automatic these rumours are every year, we’d suggest sweeping this under the carpet for the time being.
