Juventus turn down chance to sign Palermo man for free

Juventus have declined an opportunity to sign free agent Luca Mazzitelli from Palermo despite facing a midfield crisis following the injury to Manuel Locatelli. Several midfielders have been offered to the Bianconeri, but they have shown little interest in most of them as the transfer window has closed. Mazzitelli, whose contract with Como was terminated by mutual consent, was available as a free agent.

Juventus had hoped to sign him, as he had performed well against them last season while on loan at Cagliari. However, they decided against the offer and are now considering an internal solution, potentially promoting a player from their Next Gen team to address the shortage.
