Juventus are in the hunt for a full-back.
With Dani Alves needing a backup and Stephan Lichtsteiner intending to leave the club, the Bianconeri are carefully monitoring a number of potential targets.
Youngster Pol Lirola is more of a long-term solution, currently doing well on a two-year loan to Sassuolo. Juve are waiting for him to fully bloom, too.
So far, what the press can gather is that the Bianconeri are looking for an expert, someone with a winning mentality… like Pablo Zabaleta.
The Argentine has long been monitored by the Bianconeri, who are hoping to snag him on a free, something which will be possible after February 1st.
Zabaleta, who has been at the Etihad since 2008, needs a club to given him regular playing time, and with Alves doing good work in the playmaking department, could he be a fit?
