ValentÃn Carboni and his brother Franco moved to Inter Milan in 2020 as top Italian-Argentine talent, and a scout has now revealed Juve were interested in them but missed them.
Arguably the biggest club in Italy, the Bianconeri often steal players from other Italian teams or overtake them in the race for goals.
However, Inter Milan beat them to sign the Carboni brothers and it has now been revealed that it happened because Juve did not have enough Argentine stars in their team at the time.
Mario Marino was the scout who took them to Catania, he said via Calciomercato:
“The family also refused that Juve, who wanted both him and Franco, accepted Inter’s offer. There were many proposals and we had to sell them in pairs. The presence of many Argentines at Inter addressed the decision. It was a family choice.”
Juve FC says
Juve is the preferred destination for most young players who want to play in Italy, but some don’t join for personal reasons, as was the case here.
We continue to lead the way for most talent, and now that we’re giving first-team opportunities to young players, more youngsters will be drawn to play for us.
