Despite a shaky start to the team’s campaign, Federico Cherubini and company did well to bolster Max Allegri’s side during the summer transfer window.
But while management was able to fill most of the gaps within the team, the full-back department remained unaddressed, with the only newcomer being Andrea Cambiaso, who didn’t even stick around for the campaign.
Thus, the manager only has four full-backs at his disposal, including the feisty Alex Sandro and his unconvincing alternative Mattia De Sciglio.
However, ilBianconero points to the fact that Juventus missed the boat with four impressive full-backs who would surely have added some muscle to the declining department.
First on the list in Nahuel Molina. The right-back was reportedly close to signing for Juventus, but Atletico Madrid ultimately won the race by offering Udinese the services of Nehuen Perez.
The Bianconeri were also following another Udinese full-back at Destiny Udogie. But with Zebrette adamant about keeping the youngster’s services for another campaign, Fabio Paratici came up with the right formula, securing a deal that would see the teenager join Tottenham next season.
Juventus were also interested in the services of German international David Raum, but he eventually left Hoffenheim for RB Leipzig.
Finally, Owen Wijndal was one of the Raiola/Pimenta clients that the old woman was keeping an eye on. But at the end of the day, the exciting Dutch fullback sealed a move to Ajax.
