Brazil teen confirms Juve move
By Football Italia staff
Brazilian teenager Wesley has confirmed his move to Juventus from Flamengo.
Wesley posted a picture of himself wearing Juve’s training kit on Instagram with the caption, ‘a new story God has in store for me.’
The 19-year-old is a right-back who won the South American U-17 Championship with Brazil in 2017.
He is nicknamed ‘Gasolina’ for his pace and is represented by Mino Raiola but has not played since last May due to a contractual dispute with Flamengo.
However, Sport Mediaset reports that has now been settled and he joins the Bianconeri on a free transfer.
He better use Gasolina on the back of his jersey. Does anyone know if he's any good?
Juventus dive in for Brandt
Juventus could be ready to pay the release clause of Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Julian Brandt.
Brandt is under contract until the summer of 2021, but has a release clause of €25m and that figure shouldn’t scare off the Bianconeri.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has had an impressive season so far for Leverkusen, scoring seven times in 37 appearances for the German side.
According to Sport Bild, Juve’s Sporting Director Fabio Paratici has met with Brandt’s father who also works as his agent to discuss an offer to tempt the Germany international into moving to Turin.
Dortmund favourites for Schick?
By Football Italia staff
Borussia Dortmund are reportedly the favourites to sign Roma striker Patrik Schick this summer.
According to Sportitalia’s Alfredo Pedulla, Dortmund were keen on Schick before he became Roma’s record signing in the summer of 2017 and will revive their interest in the coming months.
Despite his return of just three Serie A goals this season, Pedulla explains the 23-year-old’’s profile ‘continues to please’ the German club.
Consequently, they would be ahead of Bundesliga rivals RB Leipzigin the race for the Czech.
Roma still owe Sampdoria €28m for Schick, but €20m of that can be substituted for the Blucerchiati receiving 50 percent of any sell-on fee if he leaves the Olimpico permanently before next February.
I don't know what the hell happened but at one point he was such a promising prospect.
