Juventus Scout Watch
As rumors throughout the internet ping that
Juventus player,
Stephan Lichsteiner, is looking to leave the
Serie A Champions during the off-season. Today, we have analyzed who could be the replacements, and why. Below, players from the
Premier League and rivals from
Juventus, like
A.C. Milan and
Udinese will see their players feature in this list.
First up is
Jordan Henderson, who is said to be available between
£5-7 million, which is very convenient in the financial aspect for
Juventus. Even though the former
Sunderland midfielder features more comfortably as a centre-midfield, he can be used down on the right wing. Possessing similar skills to
Lichsteiner,
Juventus will be hoping to use Henderson for about 5 years into
Jordan Henderson if they buy him.

Next up is
A.C. Milan youngster
Mattia de Sciglio, who refused a loan to
Juventus last season, ahead of his accepting a loan to
Fiorentina. Even though the player had an average season with
Fiore, he is still considered to be one of the biggest prospects at the moment at
Milan. But,
Milan are unwilling to let the 20 year old leave, which is very inconvenient for
Juventus. Not only that, but
Juventus can have an
Italian player that could be a future captain and an
Italian legend.

The last player to be linked to
Juventus is
Udinese wing-back
Marco Faraoni. The wing-back featured only 15 times last season for
Udinese and is rumored to be available for about
£5 million, but
Juve officials can be hopeful of lowering the fee. Another problem for
Juventus is that the player is co-owned by
Inter, who are fierce rivals, so that is another thing to take into consideration.
Faraoni is known to make some sweet crosses, which is one of the reasons
Juventus won the quadruple last season.

Even if
Juventus do sell
Lichsteiner, all these players have to be on alert of
Mauricio Isla, who had a fantastic season, even displacing
Stephan b for some moments. Whether they will do the same to
Isla, will be determined by their performances, if they get to play for the might
Juventus..
