A sudden injury crisis at Juventus is giving a little more credibility to rumours about the Italian side’s interest in one of our defenders.
According to the Daily Express, the Old Lady of Turin are interested in Branislav Ivanovic this January, following the broken leg suffered by their first choice right back Dani Alves.
Not only is the former Barcelona man facing time out, centre back Leonardo Bonucci has also picked up a hamstring injury.
This means that our Serbian war machine’s ability to play either at centre-back or full-back suddenly has extra value for the Italian champions.
While it would be tragic to see a cult hero like Brana leave, he doesn’t look much like breaking into our first team any time soon, and a spell in Italy with a dominant Juventus side would be hard to turn one’s nose up.
