Juventus will reportedly look to sign 27-year-old Norwegian international Sander Berge from Fulham in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Sander Berge is the subject of interest from Juventus. The Serie A champions are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 27-year-old Fulham mainstay has emerged as a target for the Bianconeri.
However, while the Baerum native is “becoming a consideration” for the Italian club, he is “one of a handful of names and there’s no suggestion of any approach being made to Fulham or the player’s camp”. Meanwhile, it is unclear if Fulham will be ready to cash in on Berge in the summer transfer window.
Sander Berge and his impact at Fulham
Sander Berge has established himself as one of the most underrated midfielders in the Premier League since joining Fulham from Burnley last summer. The 27-year-old has been third time lucky in the English top flight, after suffering relegation with Sheffield United and Burnley. However, the move to Fulham has been ideal for both parties.
The 56-cap Norwegian international has amassed over 2,500 minutes of game time across 36 appearances in all competitions thus far for Fulham. Meanwhile, Berge’s exploits have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Juventus may be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Serie A adventure beckons?
Juventus’s interest in Sander Berge is understandable. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a holding midfielder this summer after Douglas Luiz failed to make his mark last season. The Brazilian international will likely leave Juventus in the coming weeks, with several Premier League clubs keen on securing his services.
Meanwhile, several candidates, including Yves Bissouma, have emerged on Juventus’s radar, with Berge also a viable target for the Bianconeri. However, the Italian club’s interest is in its infancy, and it is unclear if they will launch the offensive to secure his services in the summer transfer window.
