Beppe Marotta admits Porto’s Alex Sandro is ‘an interesting player’ but denies Juventus have opened negotiations.
The Bianconeri are believed to be in the market for a left-back, with rumours suggesting that the Brazilian is their top target.
“Alex Sandro is another interesting player,” Marotta admitted in a Press conference.
“I’m sure all the top clubs are looking at him. We’ve only noticed his great qualities, we haven’t started a negotiation.

“I’m sure all the top clubs are looking at him. We’ve only noticed his great qualities, we haven’t started a negotiation.
“He’s a good player, I’ll limit myself to that.”
The director general also discussed the forthcoming Serie A season, and admits Juve start the campaign as favourites.
“Juve must be considered the favourites and the team to beat, because it’s still a strong squad.
“Three important players have left [Carlos Tevez, Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal], and others have left too, including [Marco] Storari, [Simone] Pepe and [Angelo] Ogbonna who all made a contribution last year.
“Storari was a starter in the Coppa Italia, and Ogbonna helped at the start of the season with [Giorgio] Chiellini suspended and [Andrea] Barzagli injured.
“Pepe was the same, despite not playing for two years he made some important contributions.
“Juventus are still favourites, but this year we won’t just be competing with Roma, there’s also the Milan teams, who are more dangerous when they’re fighting for the title.”
