Juventus confident about signing Benficaโ€™s Alex Grimaldo

Serie A giants Juventus are confident about signing Spanish left-back Alex Grimaldo on a free transfer as the playerโ€™s contract expires next summer with Portuguese side Benfica.

According to a report from Daniele Longo for Calciomercato, the Bianconeriโ€™s goal will be to reinforce their left-back position which is currently reserved for the Brazilian Alex Sandro. The 31-year-oldย  is set to leave at the end of the season after completing his contract with Juventus. Due to their current financial situation, Juventus are set to bring in a player without paying a fee and Benficaโ€™s Alex Grimaldo heads the list.ย 

The 27-year-old has proven himself to be industrious on the pitch as he searches for a brighter opportunity elsewhere in Europe and he will not renew his contract with the รguias. Juventus have established positive contacts in recent weeks and they are feeling convinced to close the deal soon.ย 

Serie A counterparts Inter and Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund are also expected to join the race for the bright left-back and this is the reason Juventus are moving in early to secure Grimaldoโ€™s services.
