    Exclusive: Juventus scout Atletico Madrid starlet

    Juventus are scouting Atletico Madrid starlet Angel Correa, calciomercato.com’s Fabrizio Romano has exclusively learned. The 21-year-old striker is a long time target of the Old Lady that has been scouting the promising Argentinean striker for many also during his time at San Lorenzo.

    Atletico Madrid, however, beat off competition of Juventus and Benfica when they managed to get the player’s signature back in 2014. The Serie A giants were stolen one of the most promising prospects under their noses and they saw their approach rejected by the LaLiga side last summer when Marotta and Paratici made a new attempt to take him to the J Stadium.

    Correa’s taken a while to settle in well at the Calderon but is now getting some regular game time and has registered three goals and as much assists in the opening 12 games of the season.

    Atletico Madrid are not willing to sell the player whose contract with the club expires in June 2019. The player is also very happy in Madrid but a possible departure of Simeone in the summer could make him change his mind and consider a move to Italy.

    Meantime, Juventus are scouting him and could make a new offer to sign the Atletico Madrid starlet in the summer.
