Armand Laurienté has taken his game to another level in 2023, and Milan and Juventus are keeping an eye on him ahead of the next transfer window. The Frenchman joined Sassuolo in a €12M move last summer, and his valuation has skyrocketed since.
Per Calciomercato, the Rossoneri were keen on him before he transferred to Italy, and his recent showings further fueled their interest. They are monitoring several options to rejuvenate their attack. Folarin Balogun has been the latest one to come up. However, given his success at Reims, he might stay at Arsenal or transfer to another Premier League for €50/60M. They can’t offer that much.
On top of Milan, Juventus are also tracking Laurientè, as their attack could be in flux in the summer, Sportitalia informs. The Bianconeri might sell Dusan Vlahovic and spend the money on multiple attackers. They are among the teams following Gianluca Scamacca, who’s having a tough time in the Premier League.
The Frenchman has logged 7 goals and 6 assists in 20 appearances in his maiden season in Serie A. Sassuolo won the race over Torino to get him after a lengthy back-and-forth with Lorient.
Our Take on Laurienté, Milan, and Juventus
His talent is clear, but the question is whether the Neroverdi have already become a boutique that’s too pricey for fellow Italian sides. He’d be a quality replacement for Rafael Leao, as the two have basically the same traits, some inconsistency included. Instead, it’s dubious the Old Lady will go after an offensive winger considering their scheme.
