Juventus ready to rival AC Milan for Pubill

Milan are not the only club interested in Marc Pubill, as Sportitalia reports that the Spanish right-back is Juventus’ first option in that position.

Almeria right-back Pubill has emerged as Juventus and Milan’s first choice for the right-back position.

Juventus vs Milan for Pubill

Sky Sport Italia reported on Tuesday that the 22-year-old defender was the first name on Milan’s agenda, but according to Sportitalia, the same is true of Juventus.

Pubill is under contract with Almeria until June 2029 and has made 34 appearances in La Liga playing for Almeria and Levante.

Pubill affordable for Juventus and Milan

According to Gazzetta, Pubill’s current club, Almeria, are open to discussing a possible deal for €15m plus add-ons, and the salary of the 22-year-old right-back is affordable for both Serie A sides.

Juventus have already signed Jonathan David to strengthen their attack and will soon announce Francisco Conceiçao’s permanent move to the club.

Milan, on the other hand, signed Samuele Ricci and Luka Modric in central midfield, but need new full-backs, having parted ways with Theo Hernandez (left flank) and Kyle Walker (right flank).
