Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has recently been in London to assess interest from Premier League clubs in two of the Bianconeri’s young talents, Matias Soule and Samuel Iling-Junior according to reports on Sunday morning.
According to information from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Giuntoli flew over to the UK as Max Allegri and the Juventus first team put in their final preparations ahead of their 2-1 win over Monza.
The general feeling is that the sale of the two emerging talents could provide much-needed cash to fund transfers for the first team in January.
La Gazzetta reports that Newcastle and Crystal Palace both have interest in Soule, who has impressed since joining Frosinone on loan at the beginning of the 2023-24 season.
With six league goals from his first 12 appearances, no player aged under 23 has scored more in Serie A this term.
Juventus could reportedly fetch a fee in the region of €20m-€25m if they were to recall Soule and sell him in the January transfer window according to La Gazzetta’s report.
In addition to Soule, there has also been speculation over the future of Iling-Junior in Turin in recent months. The England U21 international has impressed when given the opportunity, but chances in the first team have been increasingly few and far between this season.
Recent reports have indicated that Tottenham are among the seriously interested parties in the former Chelsea youth player.
If Juve were able to facilitate the sales of both Soule and Iling-Junior to Premier League clubs in January, it is believed that they could fetch a sum of around €45m.
Soule should not be sold, but he will be because Allegri doesn’t like him. If they do sell him it should not be for less than $30M.
