He is regarded as a possible heir to Gigi Buffon in the near future and is mentioned in connection with Juventus: Inter’s Francesco Bardi. The Italian U-21 goalkeeper is considered to be the greatest talent at the position, but Inter has no intention of losing him. TuttoJuve has interviewed the goalkeeper’s agent Vincenzo Rispoli.

It is said that Juventus are interested in Bardi. Is it true?

“That Francesco is appreciated by Juve is not a mystery. Indeed, Bardi, both before and during the last few months, has always been given positive and appreciative reviews.”

Has there been anything concrete?

“Bardi did a tour with Juve two years ago, Marotta and Paratici has always expressed their appreciation for Francesco.”

So he could be the heir to Gigi Buffon in a few years?

“That he is compared with Buffon is gratifying, but Inter are holding on to him. I hardly think that Inter will let him leave. He is rather the heir to Julio Cesar than Buffon. Even though there is already an outstanding goalkeeper in Handanovic at Inter.”

The future is certainly smiling at your client..

“He’s doing very well at Novara. Unfortunately the team is going through a difficult time, but Francesco has been a positive highlight. He is developing slowly but surely. In u-21, he is a starting player and an indisputable protagonist. Bardi is a guy with a good head on his shoulders and deserves all the best.”
