Juventus send scouts to watch Atalanta hotshots play for Italy's Under-21s
Juventus’ search for Europe’s best and brightest continues.
Our sources tell us that Fabio Paratici’s scouting network will have observers present at Italy’s Under-21 friendly with Denmark this evening, set to kick off at 1730 GMT in Bergamo.
Two of the players are well known to Serie A fans by now: Andrea Conti and Mattia Caldara, who play for local side Atalanta, and who Juventus had scouted in late October as they beat Genoa 3-0.
Conti, 22, began the season with two assists against Lazio, and popped up with his first goal of the campaign against Sassuolo two weeks ago, helping the Dea to a 3-0 win.
Caldara, also 22, has actually netted twice in Serie A action despite playing in defence, but what has really shone through is his overall skill, enough to attract interest from Inter.
