Real Madrid right-back duo Lucas Vazquez and Alvaro Odriozola have emerged as possible targets for Italian giants Juventus, as per ɾєρօɾτs from Gazzetta dello Sport (viaAS). TheBianconerihave made contact withLos Blancosto explore the transfer of one of the two players.
Vazquez has morphed himself into a right-back in recent seasons and has done a solid job of providing cover to Dani Carvajal.
However, with theMerengueslikely to sign a new player for the position and the Spaniard’s contract expiring next year, the possibility of an exit has come up, withJuventus showing interest.
As for Odriozola, the former Real Sociedad right-back struggled to get meaningful minutes this past season after enjoying a decent campaign on loan at Juventus during 2021/22.
Like Vazquez, Odriozola’s contract withReal Madridalso stands to expire next year. And the Spanish capital giants are looking to offload him in the upcoming summer transfer window, withJuventus taking note of the situation, having seen him closely during his time at Fiorentina.
Contacts have been established between the two clubs to discuss a potential transfer for either Vazquez or Odriozola.
However, apart from the twoReal Madridstars, the Old Lady are also looking at Ivan Fresneda of Real Valladolid as well as Leicester City’s Timothy Castagne as options to reinforce the right-back position.
So, it remains to be seen if the Italian heavyweights decide to go after one of Odriozola or Vazquez, or pursue the other names on their shortlist this summer.
