Juventus 'eye summer move' for PSG defender Kimpembe

  /  Cai

Juventus could reportedly move for Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Presnel Kimpembe this summer.

The Italian champions signed Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax ahead of the 2019-20 campaign but are believed to be keen to bring another central defender to the club in the next transfer window.

According to le10sport, Juve have placed Kimpembe high on their wishlist amid suggestions that the 24-year-old has fallen out with PSG boss Thomas Tuchel.

The France international has made 21 appearances for Les Parisiens during the current season and has worn the captain's armband in three of his team's last four Ligue 1 matches.

Kimpembe also has a contract in Paris until June 2023, but the defender could allegedly seek pastures new during this summer's transfer window.

Giorgio Chiellini has recently returned from a long-term knee injury to boost Juve's options at the back, although Leonardo Bonucci will be suspended for Saturday's clash with SPAL.
