Juventus midfielder Hans Nicolussi Caviglia appears to be on the verge of leaving the club, with newly-promoted Serie A side Venezia emerging as the frontrunner for his signature.
The 24-year-old Italian, a product of Juventus’ youth academy, has struggled to secure a regular spot in the first team despite being promoted to the senior squad last season. His efforts to impress new manager Thiago Motta during the pre-season seem to have fallen short, as he was omitted from the squad for the recent friendly against Brest.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that while several Serie A clubs, including Cagliari and Parma, have shown interest in Nicolussi Caviglia, reports suggest that Venezia is close to finalizing a deal for the midfielder. The Venetian club, fresh off their promotion via the Serie B playoffs, are looking to strengthen their squad as they prepare for life in the top flight.
Venezia’s interest in Nicolussi Caviglia could be linked to the potential departure of U.S. international Tanner Tessman, who is rumoured to be leaving the club before the end of the transfer window.
For Juventus, the sale of Nicolussi Caviglia represents another instance of the club capitalizing on their youth products to generate funds for reinvestment in more established players. The Bianconeri are reportedly seeking around €4 million plus add-ons for the midfielder.
