Juventus Transfer News: Beppe Marotta Addresses Pietro Pellegri Rumours

Juventus CEO Beppe Marotta has admitted the Bianconeri are interested in Genoa starlet Pietro Pellegri, revealing the Italian champions held talks for the teenager two years ago.

Speaking to Premium Sport (h/t Calciomercato.com), Marotta didn't hide the fact he's still on the club's radar:

"We are interested in signing him, that's for sure.

"We've always been interested in signing him. We talked to him two years ago but his price-tag, of course, was way lower than today's. He is a great talent but it takes time to become a champion.
