Juventus are reportedly keeping tabs on Monaco starlet Gabriel Boschilia, who has been labelled ‘the new Juninho Pernambucano’.
According to Calciomercato, Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici has not forgotten about Boschilia after scouting the 20-year-old when he starred for Brazil at the Under-17 World Cup in United Arab Emirates three years ago.
The midfielder has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with Monaco, with three of his four goals in Ligue 1 this season coming from free kicks.

The midfielder has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with Monaco, with three of his four goals in Ligue 1 this season coming from free kicks.
Consequently, he has been compared to Lyon’s former set-piece specialist Juninho, although the website likens him to Ricky Kaka.
Juve were said to be interested in Boschilia last year, when he was still a Sao Paulo player, but Monaco eventually landed him for a reported €7m.
