A few teams are keeping an eye on Sassuolo, as their potential relegation would lead to an exodus of their best players for reduced price tags. In that sense, Juventus are monitoring Armand Laurienté. Tottenham, West Ham, and a few more Serie A and Ligue 1 teams are keen on him too, Tuttomercatoweb’s Mirko Di Natale informed.
The winger has had a pedestrian season but has perked up as of late, scoring four goals in the last four rounds. He had hit the net seven times and provided six helpers in his maiden Serie A campaign last year.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus would have a host of Next Gen talents to offer for Laurienté if Sassuolo dropped to Serie B. The relationship between the two sides is excellent and coming to terms wouldn’t be problematic.
The Neroverdi upset Inter in the most recent round but remain second-to-last on the standings, with a three-point deficit from 17th place.
His agent Roberto Meloni weighed in on the matter to Sportitalia a couple of months ago.
“I know that director Cristiano Giuntoli likes Laurienté, but Juventus have a different strategy and a playing style and scheme that differ from those most suitable to him. The windows are long, though.”
Our Take on Juventus and Laurienté
He’d be a fine flier in favorable circumstances despite his inconsistency, but the Bianconeri’s plans for the position go through what will happen with Federico Chiesa.
