Nicolo Fagioli is being offered to several Premier League sides ahead of January after losing his place in the Juventus team.
According to TBR, Nicolo Fagioli has been offered to at least four Premier League sides ahead of January. The Italian midfielder has lost his regular spot in the Juventus side, which could see the Bianconeri consider him expendable. Manchester City, Aston Villa, Fulham, and Tottenham are linked with the £29 million-rated Serie A midfielder.
Nicolo Fagioli was at the centre of the betting scandal that rocked Serie A, as he and Sandro Tonali served long-term bans. Despite his prolonged absence, the Juventus star was included in Italy’s squad for the Euros and has started the club season as a regular.
However, as the season has progressed, Thiago Motta has come to prefer Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli as his preferred midfield pairing, leaving Fagioli and even summer signing Douglas Luiz on the sidelines for most parts.
Fagioli and Luiz are linked with Manchester City, as the report states Pep Guardiola’s side are one of the four teams the Italian midfielder has been offered to ahead of January. Aston Villa, Fulham and Tottenham are the others mentioned in the story, as Juventus might consider a sale of the midfielder.
Having come through the Juventus academy, any sale will ensure the club make total profit off the midfielder. The Italian side reportedly wants £29 million to sell the 23-year-old, and that may not be an issue for most of the English sides ahead of January. Even then, a loan move with a buy option could be enough to convince the Bianconeri over a transfer.
Will Fagioli leave for the Premier League?
For instance, if Aston Villa and Tottenham show interest in taking Fagioli, they are solid contenders. Both are looking for a new midfielder, while Manchester City is eager to find a solution to their Rodri-sized midfield problem.
Fulham, on the other hand, are looking to improve their squad with another midfield addition to make sure they progress well this season. Hence, should the £29 million-rated Serie A midfielder give his nod to a Premier League move, he will have plenty of options provided any interested side can work out a deal with Juventus.
