Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport has learned that Juventus are keeping close tabs on Atalanta youngster Daniele Baselli.
The Bianconeri are set to extend Andrea Pirlo’s contract for another two years, but they are already on the lookout for his long-term replacement.
And while PSG midfielder Marco Verratti remain the number one name on their hit-list, the Old Lady are also looking at Atalanta starlet Daniele Baselli.
The 22-year-old is the product of Atalanta’s famous youth school and he has been getting regular playing time this season.
While making 18 Serie A appearances for Orobici, Baselli has been one of star performers for Italy Under-21 side, making 5 starts in the 2015 European Championship qualifying campaign.
With his representative suggesting that Baselli could be leaving Atalanta as early as next summer, Juventus are widely expected to step up their interest in the highly rated footballer.
The Bianconeri face Catania away on Sunday evening and they have been made 2/5 favourites to claim maximum points.
