He can play as a no.10 and on either flank. He has starred 13 times with Krasnodar so far this season, scoring 5 times and providing 3 assists. The 23-year-old has spent his entire career at the Russian club, becoming a regular in 2021/2022.

Juventus wish to add some young guns to their squad, and Spertsyan would fit the mold. He’d be a gamble à la Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for former Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli. His team rejected a €10M offer from Ajax in June. His valuation might be around €15M. Instead, there’d be no issue with his wages.

Milan, Inter, and Fiorentina have watched him lately as well. He’s open to transferring to Italy. There have been some contacts already, but he’s an extra-EU player, which forces teams to carefully weigh whether to sign him considering the restriction.

They are being suspiciously active on wingers and no.10s for a side using a 3-5-2 formation. Rolling the dice on a foreign starlet would be a nice change of pace for them. Giuntoli will pull the trigger once he finds somebody who combines potential with an affordable price tag.
