Arsenal midfielder Charlie Patino has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, with Juventus interested.
Italian giants Juventus are reportedly keen on signing Charlie Patino. The Bianconeri have been monitoring his progress at Swansea City and recently scouted him in action according to a report from Calciomercato.it.
Charlie Patino in Demand in Serie A
The midfielder is valued at €30 million, and it will be interesting to see if Juventus decide to make a move for him this month. Patino is highly rated at Arsenal, and he has a big future ahead of him. He could develop into a key player for the North Londoners in the coming seasons.
Arsenal might not want to lose a prized prospect like Patino anytime soon. But a lucrative offer would certainly make them consider a sale in the coming months. Patino is unlikely to break into the starting lineup anytime soon, and Arsenal need to strengthen certain areas of their squad.
Arsenal already spent a substantial amount of money in the summer transfer window, and they need to raise funds through sales before bringing in other signings. Meanwhile, Juventus clearly admire the technically gifted midfielder, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an offer to sign him.
The reported €30 million valuation might seem steep right now. But the young midfielder certainly has the potential to justify the investment in the coming seasons. The Arsenal whizkid is currently on loan at the Championship club Swansea City, and Juventus have sent scouts to watch the player in action.
A Move to Serie A on the Cards?
The talented young midfielder is likely to be tempted if a top club like Juventus come calling. He will probably expect certain game-time assurances before making the transfer. He will not want to sit on the bench at a big club as it could affect his development. It will be interesting to see if Juventus can convince the player to join them.
The 20-year-old central midfielder has chipped in with four goals and four assists for Swansea City so far this season. He is clearly benefiting from the loan spell at the Welsh club and needs to continue playing on a weekly basis. It remains to be seen how his situation unfolds over the next few weeks.
