Juventus have reportedly identified Real Madrid left-back Ferland Mendy as a possible replacement for Alex Sandro.
The 26-year-old has displaced Marcelo as Los Blancos' first-choice left-back for the 2021-22 season, registering one goal and two assists in 24 appearances across all tournaments.
Mendy penned a six-year deal with Real Madrid following his summer move from Lyon in 2019, and the capital club are expected to wave goodbye to Marcelo ahead of the 2022-23 season.
However, Jeunesfooteux claims that Real may also consider parting ways with Mendy in the summer, and Juventus will attempt to prise the France international away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
Sandro - who turns 32 next year - has less than 18 months left to run on his deal with Juventus, and there is uncertainty surrounding a possible extension given his age.
Real Madrid are supposedly already making contingency plans for Marcelo and Mendy's possible exits, with former Blancos starlet and current Rayo Vallecano left-back Fran Garcia rumoured to be on their radar.
