Motta’s team needs a new center back after Bremer’s serious injury
Juventus plans to strengthen the center of defense in the winter transfer window. In the area of increased attention of the Old Lady there are two defenders from English Premier LeagueDane Joachim Andersen (Fulham) and Frenchman Benoit Badiashile (Chelsea).
It was previously reported that Juventus will enter the transfer market in the winter in search of a central defender. Recently it became known about the Bianconeri’s interest in Bologna and Colombian national team defender John Lucumi.
The center back position is now one of the most vulnerable in Thiago Motta’s team. Defensive leader Bremer injured his cruciate ligament and meniscus in a 3-2 win over Leipzig in early October and was out for the rest of the season.
28-year-old Andersen has experience of performing in Italy (Sampdoria, 2017 – 2019). This season, the Dane, who joined from Crystal Palace in the summer, has played nine matches and provided one assist.
23-year-old Badiashile has been in Chelsea for almost two years, but injuries and other problems have prevented him from opening up. This season, the Frenchman is a stable starter in the Conference League, while in the Premier League he played only 37 minutes against Liverpool (1:2) in the 8th round.
Juventus is sixth in Serie A, but only two points behind leaders Napoli. At the same time, Thiago Motta’s team is the most conceding team in the league (only 7 goals in 12 rounds). The Zebras’ next match will be away against Milan on November 23.
