There are a number of clubs crazy about Pietro Pellegri including Inter and Juventus, Gazzetta dello Sport detail. The 16-year-old Genoa starlet scored a brace against Lazio at the weekend, sparking transfer rumours galore.
The Nerazzurri had courted Pellegri and teammate Eddy Salcedo in the summer and had a deal agreed with Genoa but the Chinese Government’s ban on foreign spending put a stop to the Suning owned club completing the deal. The Bianconeri then swooped in but were also unable to complete a deal.
Gazzetta further report that there is interest from the Premier League, particularly from Manchester United. The players agent Giuseppe Riso met with Red Devils officials and discussed the Italian youth international as well as Udinese’s Jakub Jankto, Andrea Petagna and Danielle Baselli.

what? nah, still very much unproven to this point. the season is long. see how long the kid will last. there can’t be two rooneys at the same time :/
He costed 20m+bonuses which is a lot for such a young player but then recently I heard Milan struck a pre-deal with Genoa for January. Maybe he is worth it?
Shame what happened to our budget. We were going to secure him. I hope Genoa work on principle and let us be the priority in negotiations.
