Manchester United are certainly not the only team that targets Toby Alderweireld’s signature in the summer. Serie A champions Juventus are rumored to be chasing Tottenham Hotspur defender.
Since moving to England in 2015, Alderweireld has built a good reputation in the UK. He became one of the toughest defenders in the Premier League after appearing mighty at the heart of the defense of The Lillywhites.
The excellent performance of the Belgian national team defender attracted the attention of a number of top European clubs. The name Manchester United is often referred to as the main interest of Alderweireld in the summer.
But reported by Calciomercato, United will get a fierce competitor for Alderweireld’s signature. It is rumored that Juventus will rival Manchester United for the defender’s signature.
The report claims that Juventus are eyeing Alderweireld’s signature after they suffered a defender crisis in the summer.
This season Juventus have been left by one of their central defenders Medhi Benatia who decided to move to the Middle East. Not only that, at the end of the season they will also be left behind by Andrea Barzagli who decides to hang his shoes.
With this situation, Juventus needed additional energy in their defense. Alderweireld, who has been consistent in recent years, is believed to be a good recruit for the Old Lady.
