Why Martin Caceres Was Juventus' Most Surprising Player in 2015/16

Since returning to Juventus in January 2012, Martin Caceres has been a reliable, consistent and vital member of the squad, proving himself to be a quality reserve capable of filling in wherever needed in defence.

Whether playing on either flank as a wing-back or orthodox full-back but usually as part of the three-man back line that has become something of a trademark for the Bianconeri, the Uruguay international provided the side with a dependable reserve should any of the regular defence need to sit out.

Indeed, Caceres—who also spent the 2009/10 campaign with the Turin giants—had shown that the club had made the right decision to make his loan move permanent in the summer of 2012 at a cost of €8 million, per Goal.
