Juventus are closing in on a move for Mateo Pellegrino from Parma, but Fiorentina are hoping to beat the Bianconeri to the attacker’s signature during the current transfer window.
Pellegrino is believed to be open to joining Juventus, with the club reportedly offering him a five-year contract as they look to secure his services. The Bianconeri are showing their commitment to the deal while also pursuing Randal Kolo Muani as they strengthen their attacking options.
Juventus pursue Pellegrino deal
Pellegrino and Kolo Muani are the two forwards Juventus are targeting as they look to improve their squad. The moves could help replace Dusan Vlahovic, who left the club after his previous contract expired.
Although there has been speculation that Vlahovic could return to Juventus, the club have already made their interest in Pellegrino clear to both the player and Parma. They are now aware that they need to move quickly to complete the transfer.
Pellegrino is viewed as a promising attacking option who can add quality to Juventus’ squad. However, the club could face competition from another Serie A side that is prepared to challenge their efforts.
Fiorentina enter transfer race
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Fiorentina are also interested in signing Pellegrino and are looking to hijack Juventus’ move for the attacker. The club believe he would be an ideal addition to their squad and are prepared to make a strong push to complete the deal.
Fiorentina could offer Pellegrino more guarantees over regular playing time, which may become an important factor in his decision. Juventus’ attacking plans could make competition for places difficult, especially if Kolo Muani arrives and Vlahovic returns.
That situation could encourage Pellegrino to consider his options carefully before deciding where to continue his career. Juventus remain interested and have already made their intentions clear, but Fiorentina’s involvement could make the race for his signature more complicated.
