While they prepare for some big moves, Juventus are looking after the future of their youngsters. Despite a marvelous season at WSG Tirol, they will not give Giacomo Vrioni a shot. The club quickly sold to New England Revolution for €3.45M before he began the pre-season preparation.
Goalkeeper Franco Israel has transferred abroad as well. The Bianconeri shipped him to Sporting CP for 650k plus half of the fee of a future sale. Matteo Brunori is expected to return to Palermo on a permanent deal for around €4M now that the City Football Group has completed its takeover, Corriere dello Sport informs.
Filippo Ranocchia is one of Juventus youngsters that is drawing the most interest following a strong campaign at Vicenza. Udinese and Verona have inquired, while Torino joined the race in the last few days, Sportitalia informs.
As per Tuttomercatoweb, Koni De Winter will join Empoli on a seasonal loan. The Azzurri managed to beat Sampdoria and other Serie A teams. He will replace veteran Simone Romagnoli, who has moved to Parma. Mattia Viti could depart as well as he is on the radar of a few clubs, including the Bianconeri themselves.
Our Take on the Juventus and Their Youngsters
The Old Lady has completely given the reins to Massimiliano Allegri, who surely prefers veterans. Vrioni would have deserved at least an opportunity in the friendlies. He could have maybe spared the club an investment for a Dusan Vlahovic deputy. Brunori will probably have the same faith. While he broke out in Serie C, so his numbers have to be taken with a grain of salt, he is an animal on counter-attacks and in the box. It is easy to envision him having success in the top division too.
