Juventus are looking for a new right wing-back, and according to reports in Italy, the Bianconeri continue talks with Atletico Madrid for Nahuel Molina and consider a swap deal between Alexis Saelemaekers and Dusan Vlahovic.
Juventus want to sign a new right wing-back this summer. It’s a role that Pierre Kalulu unconventionally covered on Sunday against Parma, pushing to the bench the newcomer Joao Mario.
According to Tuttosport, Milan’s Saelemaekers is the primary name for the Old Lady, who would even be open to offering Vlahovic in a swap deal.
On the one hand, Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri wants to reunite with Vlahovic at San Siro, but on the other hand, he’d be reluctant to part ways with Saelemaekers.
Even if Juventus and Milan reach an agreement, which is not guaranteed, then the Rossoneri would need to convince Vlahovic to move to San Siro, taking a pay cut from his €12m salary in the last year of his contract in Turin.
Another option on the right flank for Juve is one of their long-time targets, Atletico Madrid’s Molina, an ex-Udinese defender.
As per Gazzetta, negotiations between the Bianconeri and the Colchoneros are still ongoing and involve Nico Gonzalez as well, a target of the La Liga giants.
