Juventus interest in Cristante confirmed

Italian champions Juventus are hot on the trail of Benfica starlet Bryan Cristante, according to Atalanta officials.

The Italy international has largely impressed during the loan spell with Orobici and he is almost certain to join a top club in the summer.

Namely, Atalanta will exercise a €4 million buy-out clause before selling him for profit, and Italian champions Juventus are one of the suitors.

Orobici chief Luca Percassi has moved to confirm that the Bianconeri are keen on Cristante.

“Massimiliano Allegri likes Cristante and he has really kick-started his career,” Percassi told Tuttosport.

AS Roma and Inter Milan are also believed to be keen on the central midfielder who already scored 9 goals this season.
