The Juventus search for a young striker to bolster their options continues, with a failed attempt to sign Roberto Piccoli from Atalanta via Spezia.
The Bianconeri have only two forwards available for today’s Serie A game against Sampdoria, as Dejan Kulusevski is suspended and Paulo Dybala injured.
Coach Andrea Pirlo would like another alternative, especially as Juve are still in the Champions League and Coppa Italia.
According to Calciomercato.com and Sky Sport Italia, the Bianconeri asked Atalanta for Piccoli on loan with option to buy.

According to Calciomercato.com and Sky Sport Italia, the Bianconeri asked Atalanta for Piccoli on loan with option to buy.
However, he is currently on loan at Spezia and neither club is prepared to let the Italy Under-21 international go mid-season.
Piccoli is getting some playing time at Spezia, contributing three goals and two assists in 15 competitive games.
Moving the 20-year-old to Turin in order to sit on the bench would therefore be slowing his progress.
