Juventus identify Darmian as Dani Alves replacement

Former Barcelona full-back Dani Alves has been heavily linked with a move away from Serie A champions Juventus this summer.

Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Bianconeri have given Alves all clear to change clubs during the summer transfer window as the Italian giants appear to be disappointed by Alves’ social media outbursts directed towards teammate Paulo Dybala.

Dani Alves told Dybala he must leave in order to reach his full potential which left the Juventus fans and club fuming. It now appears that Dani Alves’ days in Turin are numbered as Juventus already begin search for a new solution at the right back.

Mattia de Sciglio has been one of the names linked with Juventus in recent months, but Gazzetta dello Sport reports Bianconeri are interested in Manchester United man Matteo Darmian.

The Italy international has not enjoyed the best of seasons under Jose Mourinho and is likely to leave the Old Trafford during summer.
