Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri wants the Italian champions to sign Domenico Berardi outright from Sassuolo.
Berardi’s two seasons in Italy’s top flight with the Neraverdi have been a roaring success with the 20-year-old scoring 31 goals in 61 league appearances, a goal every second game in Serie A.
With co-ownership deals to be resolved this summer, La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Allegri has made it clear he wants to speak to the Italy under-21 international about a permanent move to the Juventus Stadium.
The Bianconeri could move quickly as they have an option to sign him for €15 million before June 10 with the fee rising to €20m for the 10 days following, if they delay.
Simone Zaza has also been linked with a move to the Old Lady but it appears Berardi has taken pole position ahead of his Sassuolo teammate.
The pair scored the Neroverdi’s goals in their 3-1 win over Genoa on the final day of the Serie A in what could their last appearances at the Mapei Stadium.
well it makes sense ay berardi scored 31 in two years at age 20 and zaza in the same amount of time has scored 18, quite a difference not to mention zaza is a striker, so should be scoring considerably more than his winger team-mate.
