Sports: Juventus Took a Close Look at Touted Armenian Forward

Juventus are attentively keeping tabs on a few young talents, and their emissaries were spotted in Rigas to watch the game between Latvia and Armenia to monitor Eduard Spertsyan. He’s high on their list should they make an addition in his role, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

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.
