Juventus chief Giuntoli admits interest in Benfica defender Silva

Juve are looking for a new centre-back with Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal both sidelined with knee injuries.

“Antonio Silva is an interesting player, like others,” said Giuntoli when asked about the defender.

“In January everyone is trying to keep their cards close to their chest, so we are keeping an eye on different situations.”

Giuntoli was also asked about Manchester United and Napoli rumors about Danilo.

“Right now he is our captain and we are holding him tight. We are in defense down to the bone, so we have not discussed this with him, nor with Napoli. Our goal is to keep everyone and further strengthen the defense in January,” he added.
