Juventus director Beppe Marotta has welcomed the arrival of Pablo Bentancur.

The midfielder signed last week from Boca Juniors.

Marotta said: “It is our duty to monitor young players and try to get them under contract. He is still very young and a promising player, so it'll be up to Allegri to evaluate him and decide what is the best course of action. It's not as if he'll arrive and the first day he'll be used in the starting XI, we don't want to put too much pressure on him."

Of Juve's transfer plans, he added: “It's not easy to improve the squad, as there are few players who are worthy of this shirt, while the current side is giving us guarantees for both the present and the future."
