Juventus Reportedly Top Pietro Pellegri Race Ahead of Manchester United, Chelsea

Juventus are reportedly in pole position to sign Genoa prodigy Pietro Pellegri ahead of Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

That's according to Calciomercato's Fabrizio Romano, who reported Juventus are monitoring the 16-year-old, and Bianconeri CEO Giuseppe Marotta is an admirer of the youngster.

United, Chelsea and PSG are among the other interested parties, but Inter Milan "have slowed down their pursuit of him considerably after negotiations came to an abrupt halt last summer," while AC Milan will struggle to meet Genoa's demands as they want at least €40 million for the precocious talent.
