Giorgi Mamardashvili has entered Juventus’ radar in recent weeks and the Georgian could sign for Turin in the summer.
The 22-year-old plays for Valencia and has been their starting goalkeeper this season.
Los Che want to keep him and have him tied to a contract until 2027, which guarantees them a good fee if he leaves.
Juve want to keep updating the age of their squad and consider him a player with long-term value.
This has not stopped clubs from looking for him and a report on Tuttomercatoweb reveals that Juve is one of his suitors.
They face competition from Manchester United and Tottenham, who plan to replace their current first-choices.
But Juve are confident they could win the race for his signature and keep looking for him.
Juve FC says
We need younger players in our team, but Mamardashvili will have trouble playing if he joins us now.
Mattia Perin isn’t a bad second choice, so unless he leaves, there’s almost no need for us to sign a replacement.
If we are keen to add Mamardashvili to our team, we could sign him and send him out on loan for around two seasons to continue his development.
