Juve FC say
Since launching the Juventus Next Gen team in 2018, the Bianconeri have been attracting and developing some of the most promising youngsters in football.
The likes of Matias Soulé, Samuel Iling-Junior, Kenan Yildiz and Dean Huijsen have all made leaps and bounds during their time at the club’s youth sector.
So it would be exciting to see a coveted young bomber like Boteli joining the ranks.
