Juventus to Reportedly Scout Alejandro Grimaldo Amid Alex Sandro Exit Rumours

Juventus will reportedly have scouts in attendance at Benfica's UEFA Champions League showdown with Bayern Munich on Tuesday to watch left-back Alejandro Grimaldo.

According to Romeo Agresti of Goal, Juventus are looking at the Benfica defender amid fears their current starting left-back Alex Sandro may leave the club after his contract talks reached an impasse.

"Interest in Grimaldo has been growing over the last 12 months, with Napoli originally linked at the start of the year before Tottenham were reportedly keeping an eye on him during the close-season," said Agresti. "Juventus have been aware of him for some time, too, and it was reported earlier this month that he is open to making a summer move to Turin.
