The fate of Brazilian left-back Alex Sandro hangs in the balance, as he contemplates a potential move to a premier team next year. His diminishing role at Juventus, coupled with an expiring contract until June 2024, paints a picture of an inevitable departure from Italy.
Flamengo and Santos, among other Brazilian teams, keenly monitor this situation, envisaging a transfer sans compensation in the imminent year.

Once the undisputed guardian of Juventus’ left flank, Alex Sandro’s narrative took a turn in October 2022 when Coach Massimiliano Allegri altered his role, stripping him of his untouchable status in the starting lineup. Plagued by a lingering muscle injury since September, the veteran has been sidelined for almost three months, a stark contrast to his former important role.

His diminishing significance within the squad aligns with Juventus’ strategic initiative to infuse youth, relegating Alex Sandro to a feasible option for teams seeking experienced players. São Paulo, his erstwhile Brazilian alma mater, and the financially robust Flamengo are prominent suitors, with significant resources earmarked for squad enhancements.
While Athletico-PR lingers on the periphery as a potential destination, the Brazilian prodigy’s homecoming remains a tantalizing prospect. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his return, Juventus is orchestrating a spirited comeback in Serie A, emerging as a formidable contender against Inter Milan in the ongoing 2023/24 season.
