If the past week has taught anything to West Ham United fans, it’s that Gianluca Scamacca could return to Italy in the next transfer window.
The Hammers striker has failed to adapt to the Premier League so far, and with many big Italian clubs aware of his talent and what he has previously done in Serie A, there could be movement around the 24-year-old in the coming months.
We’ve so far seen AC Milan and Inter Milan linked with him, but now it’s Juventus’ turn to be linked with the West Ham forward thanks to Gazzetta dello Sport, as the probability of Dusan Vlahovic being sold continues to be talked about.
With that in mind, Scamacca has ‘reappeared on the black and white radar’, where his name ‘has never completely gone out of fashion’ over in Turin.
As Juventus plan for a ‘younger and Italian’ squad, signing someone like the West Ham man would fit the bill, which they could do at their third time of asking, having tried twice in the past when Fabio Paratici was still in charge of transfers there.
Therefore, with Scamacca struggling in London and the Serie A giants ready to help reinvigorate his career, ‘the divorce in June seems anything but improbable’.
With that in mind, ‘advantageous solutions could be opened up, even on loan with the right/obligation to buy’.
As things stand, Juventus are ‘monitoring the situation’ in case the sale of Vlahovic has to take place, but they need to be wary of Inter, who are also keen.
