Juventus are interested in signing young talents Fabio Sakaj and Emmanuel Besea from Serie B outfit Modena in January.

The Bianconeri are looking to stock up on young recruits for the future and have locked their aim on two of Modena’s hottest prospects, who could be ready to join the current Serie A champions as early as the next transfer window.

According to Parlandodisport.it, an agreement is already in place between the two clubs for the outright purchase of the youngsters, though Modena’s president Antonio Caliendo has so far refused to confirm the report.

“Everyone is following these two guys so the rumours are nothing new,” Caliendo told Tuttomercatoweb.

“We’ve spoken to Juventus more than once about them, but nothing is concrete at the moment.

“We will see what happens in January as we’ll focus on the guys then.”

Besea, who recently signed a new contract with Modena is just 17-years of age and has already been likened to playmakers such as Andrea Pirlo, despite only signing his first professional contract at the start of last year.

Sakaj meanwhile has recently been called up to the Albanian under 17’s squad, despite having been born in the province of Frosinone.

The youngster has already been approached by several clubs, including English Premier League side Swansea, who reportedly offered him a professional contract in the summer.
