Serie A sponsor ManBetX brings you the latest sports update: Juventus' left-back Alex Sandro has set an important milestone in his career, with the 15th round of Serie A away to Salernitana coming off the bench in the second half and completing his 250th match in the Juve shirt, and next month, Alex Sandro will also celebrate his 31st birthday.
On the face of it, the Brazil international has several years to play with his excellent performances, but fans have noticed that his performances are starting to decline.
He is no longer sprinting down the left as he used to be, and perhaps it's time for Juventus to start looking for a successor, and while players like DeSiglio and Pellegrini are already enough substitutes, their ability to be regular starters in the squad is still questionable.
As a result, club management will have to turn to the market, Juve will have to turn the page after the Alex Sandro era, and super agent Minora Iola may be able to provide them with answers. Now, Juventus is interested in Owen Wendal, a 22-year-old left-back who currently plays for Alkmaar in the Dutch First Division.
The young full-back, a good player for the Dutch club, has been in Alkmaar since the age of 11 and became an official player in the starting line-up in 2019/20, making 33 appearances, scoring 1 goal and contributing 6 assists, and by the end of the 2020/21 season, he has made more than 100 appearances for Alkmaar. This season, the player made 11 appearances in the domestic league, contributing one goal and three assists. His contract expires in 2023, so he can sell at a discount next summer.
