Luke Shaw could emerge as an intriguing late-market opportunity for Juventus, with Manchester United reportedly closing in on Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde.
The arrival of the Spanish defender could push Shaw further away from Old Trafford and potentially create a favourable scenario for the Bianconeri.

According to TuttoJuve, Juventus continue to monitor the transfer market in search of a possible reinforcement for the left flank.
Among the players who could become available in the final days of the window is Shaw, the experienced English full-back who has spent many years at Manchester United.
Balde Deal Could Change Shaw’s Future
Shaw has become one of the most recognisable figures at Old Trafford, but Manchester United have been looking for a new option on the left side for some time.
That search could now lead them to Balde, with the Barcelona defender reportedly available on the market. Manchester United are believed to be close to completing a deal for the Spanish full-back.
If the transfer goes through, competition for the position could increase significantly, potentially reducing Shaw’s playing time and opening the door to a departure.
Balde would represent an investment for both the present and the future. His pace, ability to attack space and experience at the highest level could allow him to quickly become an important part of United’s project.

Juventus Could Monitor the Situation
Balde’s arrival could therefore raise serious questions about Shaw’s future at Manchester United. If an attractive offer arrives and the Englishman is keen to find greater consistency in terms of playing time, the Premier League club could be willing to discuss his departure.
For Juventus, this could create an interesting opportunity late in the transfer window. The Bianconeri are continuing to assess options for the left flank, and Shaw’s potential availability could make him a name worth monitoring closely in the coming days.
