The potential for Alex Sandro to surpass Pavel Nedved as the foreign player with the most appearances for Juventus was a hot topic. However, it won’t happen after the Bianconeri’s recent game against Bologna, where Alex Sandro fell short by one appearance to match Nedved’s record of 327 games. Sandro, a 33-year-old Brazilian defender and vice-captain, has been with Juventus since 2015, winning numerous titles during his time with the club. Despite his contract expiring soon and no renewal in sight, he remains a respected figure within the team.
Arriving from Porto, Alex Sandro has won five Serie A titles, five Coppa Italia trophies, and two Supercoppa Italiana titles with Juventus. His longstanding presence and leadership on the field have made him a crucial figure in the team, even serving as vice-captain in certain matches. However, with his contract set to expire, there are uncertainties regarding his future at the club due to financial constraints and a lack of renewal discussions.
With just 17 appearances this season, compared to 37 the previous year, Alex Sandro’s playing time has decreased significantly. Despite this, he remains a key player within the squad, on the brink of equaling Pavel Nedved’s record but unable to surpass it. As a loyal servant to the club since his arrival, Sandro’s legacy at Juventus is undeniable, even as his future with the team remains uncertain.
