Marotta confirms Juventus interest in Sampdoria striker Schick

There have been no talks regarding a summer deal for the highly-rated 21-year-old, but the reigning Serie A champions are tracking the 12-goal forward

Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed the club is interested in signing striker Patrik Schick from Sampdoria, but denied there have been talks between the Serie A clubs.

Schick has hit three goals in his last four Sampdoria appearances to reach double figures in Serie A and the 21-year-old is regarded as one of the league's hottest talents.
