Facinet Conte, an 18-year-old striker under contract with French side SC Bastia is among the talents monitored by Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli for next season, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Giuntoli will return to the Stadio Maradona in Naples for the first time tonight. The Tuscan director brought many talents to Napoli during his eight-year spell at the club and according to Gazzetta, he will do the same at Juventus, signing talented young players who can develop at the club.

Serie A: Napoli-Juventus, probable line-ups

Georgyi Sudakov is among them, but the versatile Shakhtar star already has a high price tag.

On the other hand, other promising players have already caught the eye of the Juventus director. One is Facinet Conte of SC Bastia. The Guinea international is 18 and has netted five times in 15 appearances in the French’s second division this term.

According to the report, Giuntoli has already made contact with Bastia who rejected a €4m bid from Genoa in the January transfer window.

Another player on Giuntoli’s agenda is Eduard Spertsyan, a versatile Armenian winger under contract with Krasnodar. The 23-year-old has eight goals and four assists in 22 appearances this term and his contract runs out in June 2026.
