Back at the weekend, Italian outlet Tuttosport revealed Aston Villa interest in Juventus youngster Samuel Iling Junior.
It was claimed that despite the Old Lady’s wish to keep the player, Unai Emery’s side already collected information about him, and could make an offer in the summer.
Now it’s time for Calcio Mercato to write a story about this situation and highlight the ‘crossroads’ that Juventus may find themselves at.
Following the report of Aston Villa interest, it’s claimed the Old Lady will now have to ‘reflect’ on the scenario and decide whether to accept offers for Samuel Iling Junior.
It’s said that despite his long contract with Juventus, his sale is ‘not excluded’ if convincing offers arrive.
Calcio Mercato point out this is a similar situation to the one of Kingsley Coman, who joined the Turin side from Paris Saint Germain’s academy for free and ended up being sold to Bayern Munich for €28m.
The player arrived at Juventus in a move from Chelsea’s youth ranks, and with Aston Villa ‘knocking’ for him, the Serie A giants could see the same operation now, obviously making big profit with a high offer.
