Brighton ‘courting’ forcing club to accelerate contract talks to tie down 19-year-old

Brighton & Hove Albion’s interest in Juventus youngster Samuel Iling-Junior continues to be a concern for the Old Lady.

Since the 19-year-old’s contract with the Serie A giants expires at the end of the season, they are now worried about losing him for free in the summer.

That’s why as Corriere di Torino (via Tutto Juve) writes about Juventus’ priorities in the market, it’s claimed that Federico Cherubini is set to work on the youngster’s renewal.

It’s claimed there’s the ‘courting’ from Brighton, Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig, and that’s a the Italian club for them to accelerate the talks, especially because Iling-Junior is expected to be promoted to the first team in the second half of the season.

The English winger grew up at Chelsea’s academy, having left the Blues to join Juventus in 2020.

So far, however, he only has three appearances for the Old Lady’s first team, and a new contract would certainly give him more opportunities there.

On Wednesday morning, we had already seen outlet Calciomercato claiming that Brighton are ‘above all’ in the race for the teenager.
