Juventus consider Marcelo swap

Juventus could swap Alex Sandro for Real Madrid’s Marcelo in January, reports claim.

The Bianconeri were linked with the left-back this summer, not least because they signed his friend and former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Now Tuttosport is reporting that the Brazilian has a strained relationship with Coach Julen Lopetegui, and has been speaking regularly with CR7.

Juve could look to do a deal in January by offering Alex Sandro in exchange, the newspaper claims, and there are some within the Madrid hierarchy who are receptive to that idea.

Under UEFA’s new guidelines for the Champions League, three new players can be registered in a squad for the knockout stages “without any restrictions”.

That would mean neither Marcelo nor Alex Sandro would be cup-tied if they moved in January.
