Juventus chasing Chiellini’s replacement, Dayot Upamecano

The 18-year-old defender could join the Bianconeri in the next transfer window

TRANSFER MARKET JUVENTUS LEIPZIG DAYOT UPAMECANO / Marotta and Paratici are desperately searching for a new midfielder in order to give Allegri more options. However, the two expert professionals also know that the Bianconeri need to find young and valid defenders as well. 

After Bonucci's recent departure toward Milan, Massimiliano Allegri needs a replacement for Giorgio Chiellini's too. The Italian defender is suffering from physical problems so far. Rugani is a good profile but he also needs to gain more experience to be considered a top-level center-back. 

In light of that, Juventus showed interest in Leipzig's 18-year-old Dayot Upamecano. The centre-back is chased by several European clubs. The Bianconeri need to speed this negotiation up if they want to seal this deal.  

Dayot Upamecano is a talented defender able to play as a playmaker too. The Frenchman made 7 appearances between Bundesliga, Champions League, and DFB-Pokal.
