Juventus are eyeing a move for Atalanta youngster Marco Carnesecchi as they look for players with long-term value, CalcioMercato reports.
The Bianconeri have recently been adding young players to their squad and several names have been linked with a move to the club.
Carnesecchi is currently playing on loan at Cremonese from his parent club and the 22-year-old is highly rated.
Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia Perin are Juve’s first and second options, but they are not getting any younger.
Perin would be 30 in a month and Szczesny is already 32. They are closer to retiring from the game and now is the time to think about replacing them in the Bianconeri goal.
Juve have attracted the best Italian players and Max Allegri has given opportunities to the club’s youngsters this season.
He should convince Carnesecchi that he will eventually get a chance to play regularly for the team if he moves to Turin.
Juve FC says
Carnesecchi has not secured a starting job at Cremonese this season and will have similar problems playing for Juve.
He needs to work hard to earn a place in the Serie A fighters before moving to Juve.
Atalanta will also demand a massive fee from us to release him because they think we have the money to spend.
