Alexis Sanchez would be the ideal replacement for Alvaro Morata at Juventus, according to Mauro Camoranesi.
Last week, Real Madrid exercised their right to re-sign Alvaro Morata as part of their initial deal which allowed the forward to join the Serie A champions in 2014.
Sanchez has been among the names linked with Juve this summer and Camoranesi, who made over 280 appearances for the Italian club, believes the Chilean would be a suitable successor.
“I heard that it could be Alexis Sanchez. He knows the Italian football,” the former Italy international told Goal.
“He has the speed to cause problems for opposition defences, he will be joining a team with a winning mentality and I think it can be a great opportunity for him and Juve could get more out of him.
“Alexis is a different player. You have already [Mario] Mandzukic and [Paulo] Dybala, and with Alexis they can make a stronger attack.”
Camoranesi is also sceptical that Morata’s return to Madrid may hinder his career due to a lack of playing time.
“Juve will lose what they were looking for, a goalscorer, a versatile player who has definition, speed,” he said.
“When he arrived Juventus knew he was a high-quality player. In Italy it proved it because he re-emerged after not having continuity at Real Madrid. Those who love Juventus like me wanted him to stay because he has performed very well.
"By not being a worldwide star, I don’t think he will get constant games [at Madrid]. Morata is not one of these media celebrities, he is a great player but will probably player fewer minutes than he did at Juventus."
