Juventus have inquired about the availability of Villarreal’s Giuseppe Rossi, the player’s agent has revealed.
The Bianconeri were thought to be following the 24-year-old striker, but this is the first time that the interest has received official confirmation.
“Juve have sounded out the ground, as is usual for a big club in this period,” Federico Pastorello told Tuttosport.
“There was an offer, more precisely for a loan with an option to buy and Villarreal rejected it. But since then several things have happened.”
Asked if a reported €30m bid from Tottenham had anything to do with that, Pastorello replied: “And not just that. I am also referring to the explosion of the player.
“It seems normal that an ambitious project like Juventus’ marries well with Rossi’s identity. He is obviously a youngster of great talent with a winning mentality.
“If Giuseppe is Juventus’ first choice or not is something only the directors know.”
