Already keen to recruit Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Juventus Turin has also positioned itself on Spanish defender Oscar Mingueza (26 years old, Celta Vigo), whom OM also wants to recruit.
Former Juventus Turin players, Medhi Benatia and Pablo Longoria may have to make a few phone calls to the leaders of the Old Lady. Because they have had an unfortunate tendency to thwart OM’s plans for several weeks. Thus, the Bianconeri have made Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg their priority to strengthen the defensive midfielder position. OM closed the door but the Italian press understood that the Dane was wondering, upset by his team’s inability to reach certain levels.
Juve ready to recruit Mingueza this winter
But Juventus is exploring another avenue which directly competes with OM. It leads to Oscar Mingueza. The versatile Spanish defender, capable of playing both in the center and in the left-back position, was trained at FC Barcelona. Today at Celta Vigo, he will be at the end of his contract at the end of the season. Which, obviously, attracts many suitors, including OM, Juventus but also Aston Villa, West Ham and AC Milan.
Ekrem Konur, who reveals this track, ensures that Juventus has a head start, for the simple reason that it is ready to recruit Mingueza this winter and therefore to pay a small compensation to Celta. She would have made the Spaniard her priority recruit to strengthen a defense which showed major signs of weakness in the first part of the season.
