Juventus want to sign Mateo Pellegrino from Parma this summer, and the Argentine star is also keen to join their team. Parma are expecting offers for his signature as interest in the attacker continues to grow.
Pellegrino has emerged as one of the top players in Serie A and has delivered impressive performances for his club over the last few seasons. Juventus believe he could become an important player for their squad and provide another option in attack.
The interest in Pellegrino comes after Juventus struggled to sign Randal Kolo Muani, while they could also lose Lois Openda, as expected in the coming days. According to Tuttosport, Juventus are considering a loan move for Pellegrino, while Parma want to sell the attacker for 30m euros.
Juventus look to strengthen attack
Juventus believe adding Pellegrino could help them improve their attacking options during the summer transfer window. The club are searching for another forward and see the Argentine as a player who can make a positive impact in their squad.
However, reaching an agreement could prove difficult because the two clubs currently have different ideas about the structure of the deal. Parma want a permanent transfer, while Juventus are only considering a loan agreement at this stage.
Parma hold key to Pellegrino transfer
Juventus would like to secure Pellegrino this summer, but Parma will not be forced to accept a proposal that does not suit their plans. The Italian side will only approve a move if they receive terms they believe are favourable.
For the transfer to happen, Parma would have to accept Juventus’ loan offer. The Turin club could be open to including a permanent move option next summer, but their current preference remains a temporary agreement.
The final decision will depend on whether both clubs can find common ground. Juventus remain interested in Pellegrino and want to add him to their squad, but Parma’s valuation and transfer demands will determine whether a deal can be completed during this window.
