Andrea Pirlo: Juventus Should Sign This Real Madrid Star

Andrea Pirlo: Juventus Should Sign This Real Madrid Star

With Juventus rumoured to have a six-man transfer wish list to build their team around Cristiano Ronaldo, Bianconeri legend Andrea Pirlo has revealed which Real Madrid player he thinks the Italian giants should sign to help them win the UEFA Champions League.

Despite guiding the Serie A giants to four Italian Cups and five Scudettos since his appointment in July 2014, manager Massimiliano Allegri's future with Juventus appears to be uncertain following their Champions League quarter-final elimination at the hands of Ajax Amsterdam.

Ronaldo's arrival at Juventus in July 2018 was seen as the final piece to the puzzle in their pursuit of the European crown that has eluded the club since 1996.

Pirlo, who was part of the Juve team that finished as Champions League runners-up in 2015, recently gave his opinion on who he thinks should take over the reins from Allegri.

"He (Mauricio Pochettino) has a Juve identity, he's a modern coach who's been in England for a long time," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"Modern doesn't refer to only style of play, but everything. He comes from Spanish football, he's a collection of things."

The former Italy international also insisted that Juve need to bolster their midfield if they do want to win the Champions League title, saying that Los Blancos star Isco would be an ideal signing for the club.

"They need an Isco, in my opinion," Pirlo added. 

"They're on another level on Italy, but they have to win the Champions League. Allegri's had a team in mind for several months.

"Midfield is where they need to improve. Maybe he felt he didn't have enough quality in the middle of the park.

"Having bought Ronaldo, he didn't know how to get him the ball to him. Midfielders are needed to go all the way in the Champions League."
