Official: "Juventus" rented "Schalke" defender B. Howedes

Throughout his career with Gezenkirchen's "Schalke" team, defender Benedikt Howedes is looking for career peaks.

Official website of "Juventus" confirmed that the 29-year-old German national team defender has been borrowed for the season with the possibility of acquiring full rights to him next summer.

B. Howedes will strengthen Juventus' depleted defense line - he can play both on the right and in the center. As known, "the old lady" lost Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci this summer.

B. Howedes made his debut in the main "Schalke" team in 2007. Throughout the period, the German has played 334 matches for the team and scored 23 goals.

"Juve" also acquired Douglas Costa, Rodrigo Bentancur, Wojciech Szczesny, Mattia De Sciglio, Federico Bernardeschi, and Blaise Matuidi this summer.
