Pasquale Marino remains a big fan of Mauricio Isla despite his problematic campaign at Juventus this season.
The Chilean international joined the club in a co-ownership deal from Udinese in the summer, but the 24-year-old has struggled for regular action.
After recovering from knee ligament damage sustained last season, the South American has appeared in just 17 games this term.

“Isla is an excellent player and you don’t just forget how to play football…”
