Rolando Mandragora

According to reports from Calcio Mercato, Juventus have ‘found an agreement’ to sign Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City target Rolando Mandragora. 

The 18-year-old made his debut for current club Genoa during a 1-0 victory over Juventus last season and is spending the current campaign on loan with Pescara in Serie B. The midfielder has impressed during his 15 league appearances for Delfini and is also a regular fixture for Italy at youth level, picking up 21 caps from the U17 to U21 age groups.

At the end of November, a host of clubs were linked with the prodigious Italian, whose playmaking style has been compared to PSG star Marco Verratti’s, including Premier League duo Chelsea and West Ham. Calcio Mercato claim Liverpool and Manchester City have also expressed an interest over the last few days.

But the Italian outlet report that Juventus have already reached an agreement with Genoa to sign Mandragora – presumably once his year-long loan comes to an end in the summer. Fellow Serie A specialist site Italian Football Daily describe it as an ‘agreement in principle‘.
