Juventus Transfers: 10 Players Who Could Replace Arturo Vidal

3. Granit Xhaka (Borussia Mönchengladbach)

Granit Xhaka has been continuously linked with Bayern Munich this summer. The player himself has played down the move on several occasions and Borussia Mönchengladbach have insisted he will not move to Pep Guardiola's side. At no point have either party stated that the 22-year-old could possibly make a move elsewhere and he would be a great fit for Juventus' central midfield. He is more defensively minded than Arturo Vidal but could work alongside Sami Khedira as a double pivot and allow Paul Pogba to act as the midfield enforcer. The Swiss midfielder made 37 appearances for Gladbach last season, scoring four goals and making two assists.
