The two Italian giants are reportedly leading the race to acquire the midfielder but the player insists he wants to mature more at Pescara.
AS Roma and Juventus are reportedly chasing Marco Verratti, though the agent insists no direct contact has been made so far by any side.
The 19-year-old has been a shining light in Zdenek Zeman’s Pescara side, and it is evidently clear that the two giants have been keeping a close eye on the player.
The midfielder’s agent revealed that AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 have been following the player for some time, and Juventus’ scouts have been coming to look at the talented youngster. However, the representative insisted that no side has contacted him or the club to talk about
a move so far.
While talking to TMW, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Donato-c11546 Di Campli said:
“There is nothing concrete at this moment in time. I can’t deny interest from Roma as they have been following him for some time, even if the truth is that they haven’t been in touch for a while. Juventus often send their scouts to watch him too, but no
clubs have sat around a table with Pescara yet.”
The agent insisted that even if a contact is made on the club level, the power of the final decision rests with the player, his family and the agent himself.
The young playmaker’s performances at Pescara and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 Under-21 have attracted a lot of attention, and he is already being likened to Andrea Pirlo.
Marco Verratti himself noted that his heart is tilted towards Juventus, and revealed that he used to support the Bianconeri in his childhood, and worshipped http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Del-Piero-c4726 as his football idol.
The Delfini midfielder insisted that he would prefer to spend some more time at Pescara, in order to mature as a player before joining the ranks of an Italian giant. The budding star insisted that it is a matter of great pride for him that he is attracting
interest from some of the best clubs in Italy, at such a young age.
“Juve or Roma? Hopefully I’ll be with Pescara in Serie A next season. I still have to mature even if it is pleasing that certain clubs are informing themselves about me.” The Biancazzurri player added.
