Juventus are looking for a LB and Maurizio Sarri's favourite is Emerson Palmieri, who he worked with at Chelsea. But if the deal gets complicated, Juve are already managing a guaranteed alternative: Theo Hernández of AC Milan.

Theo Hernández has had a spectacular season. He is undoubtedly one of the revelation players of the Serie A.

Even Juventus themselves, according to 'CalcioMercato', are reportedly hooked on the attributes of the ex-Real Madrid man. The source explains that Theo Hernández would the alternative to Emerson Palmieri.

Maurizio Sarri expressly asked the board for the signing of Emerson. He knows him perfectly, as he had him under his orders at Chelsea, and thinks he is what Juventus are missing.

According to the latest reports, Chelsea and Juventus had brought their positions closer together for Emerson, but still no financial agreement. And amidst that uncertainty, Juventus have set their sights on Theo.

Tying down the Milan LB isn't going to be easy either. His great season has made him become one of the most attractive defenders at the moment. "Theo is the best full-back in the Serie A, normal that everyone wants him", his agent said recently, who preferred not to speak too much about his future.
