Juventus, historically celebrated for their defensive prowess, is actively exploring avenues to fortify their backline, despite currently boasting the second-best defensive record in Serie A this season.
The Bianconeri are in the market for left-footed defenders with versatility to play in the central defensive role, whether as part of a three-man or four-man defensive setup.
Renowned journalist Mirko Di Natale reports that Atletico Madrid’s Reinildo Mandava perfectly fits the desired profile sought by the scouting team at Juventus.
Cristiano Giuntoli, the sporting director of Juventus, holds a particular appreciation for the tactical flexibility demonstrated by the Mozambican international.
Giuntoli had previously expressed interest in Mandava during his tenure at Napoli. The leadership at the Italian club has already initiated inquiries into the situation surrounding the 30-year-old player.
Juventus, aiming to bolster their defensive options, sees Mandava as a valuable addition who could bring experience and tactical acumen to their squad.
Mandava’s proficiency in playing a central defensive role aligns with the team’s strategic objectives for the remainder of the season.
As the transfer speculations gain momentum, the potential acquisition of Reinildo Mandava would undoubtedly add a new dimension to Juventus’ defensive capabilities.
The ongoing discussions reflect the club’s commitment to maintaining a competitive edge and addressing strategic gaps to secure success in domestic and international competitions.
