Juventus have reportedly laid eyes on Victor Lindelof ahead of a possible free agent acquisition. The contract of the Manchester United defender runs out at the end of the season. The Red Devils might move on from him if they find a high-quality reinforcement in the same role, Fichajes informs (via Corriere dello Sport).
The Bianconeri had tracked the Swede before he left Benfica, but the Premier League powerhouse easily won the race with a €35M bid back in 2017. He has accumulated 240 appearances, 3 goals, and 6 assists at Old Trafford since.
Manchester United still hold the cards concerning the future of Lindelof as they have an option to extend his contract, and Juventus will be hoping they don’t pick it up.
The Bianconeri appear to be active as far as possible Bosman moves are concerned. They are reportedly interested also in Real Madrid’s Lucas Vazquez, who’s in the same contractual situation.
Our Take on Juventus and Lindelof
They are paper-thin in the back but can get away with it since they don’t play in the cups this year. They’ll surely have to add to their rearguard if they return to Europe, which is likely, and this wouldn’t be the worst way to do it. They haven’t done much regarding this type of signing in recent years, but considering their struggling finances, they should definitively use the instrument more.
