The old Ladies in pole position to sign Lazio man
Juventus is one of the clubs looking to sign Lazio defender, Francesco Acerbi, as he looks set to leave the Biancocelesti in the summer giving the old ladies a major boost in their search for Chiellini replacement.
Cheillini is always the backbone of the old lady defense and is of no doubts but the Italian and juvntus legend wilk be leaving the old ladies this summer after spending 18 years with the old ladies.
The Italian replacement is highly needed as the old ladies need to rebuild the team and prepare for European and local titles next season after going trophyless this season.
He has fallen out with the club’s fans, and it seems there is no way back in repairing his relationship with them again.
The Lazio star player will therefore need to find a different club to join after falling out of the interest of Lazio fanbase and many more and Calciomercato claimed the old ladies Juventus is the front runner to land his signature
The report says the Bianconeri are not alone, and the former Sassuolo centre-back could also move to Milan, where at least one of the two biggest clubs in the city wants to sign him.
Juve needs to replace the outgoing Giorgio Chiellini, and they have a list of targets that they are considering, but Acerbi might be cheaper than the likes of Arsenal’s Gabriel.
The old ladies issued an official statement that"
Acerbi has been one of Italy’s finest defenders in the last few seasons, and he has enough experience to replace Chiellini.
But he is not a long-term solution, and his age (34) means he will probably leave the club at the same time as Leonardo Bonucci if he joins.
We need to focus our efforts on much younger defenders that will deliver value to us now and in the future".
