Juventus are stepping up their interest in Lazar Samardzic as it appears his potential move to Napoli may not materialise.
The Serbian midfielder has been on the radar of top Italian clubs since last summer. Initially, Inter Milan had reached an agreement to sign him from Udinese, but the deal fell through due to personal condition issues. Consequently, Inter shifted their attention to other objectives.
Samardzic has been linked with a move to Napoli as a possible replacement for Piotr Zielinski. However, in recent weeks the progress of the operation has stalled, opening the door for Juventus to rekindle its interest in the player.
According to a report from Tuttomercatoweb, Juventus are now looking to intensify their pursuit of Samardzic. The Bianconeri see him as a player who can improve their squad and are keen to secure his signing under Max Allegri.
Juve FC says
Samardzic hasn’t been as brilliant as last season, but it’s clear he’s a talented kid.
We will sign a top-class midfielder with the potential to improve if he joins us.
