Juventus launch assault on Sampdoria starlet

Juventus are weighing up move for Sampdoria midfielder Roberto Soriano, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Soriano, 21, is one of many talented players who are impressing at Marassi this season, and his good performances have not gone unnoticed.

Serie A champions Juventus are believed to be preparing a bid for the youngster whose contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

Soriano came through the youth ranks at Bayern Munich and it was Juventus directors Beppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici who signed the player for Sampdoria in the winter of 2009.

The Bianconeri officials are now keen to lure the player to Turin, with the possibility of signing the midfielder on a free transfer making him even more appealing.

Roberto Soriano, a member of Italy Under-21 side, has made 13 Serie A appearances for Sampdoria this season, but has yet to get on the score sheet.
