How much Juventus will pay to sign their target after his Italy debut

Juventus is considering signing Italian midfielder Alessandro Romano after he made his debut for the Italian national team. The 20-year-old has been playing in midfield for Cagliari on loan from AS Roma and has impressed enough for Roberto Mancini to give him his international debut against Belgium. Though the match ended in a 2-0 loss, Romano's first appearance for Italy underscored the high expectations surrounding him.

Juventus is keen to secure some of the country's most promising young talents and Romano's involvement with the national team adds to the pressure on the club. The Bianconeri are known for moving swiftly when such talent becomes available, and Romano's international debut has only heightened his appeal.

Despite his impressive performances at Cagliari, Romano continues to attract attention due to his potential value. He is currently valued at €20 million by Calciomercato, which could make negotiations for his transfer challenging for Juventus. The club would need to make a significant investment if they decide to pursue Romano, particularly as Cagliari has an option to make his transfer permanent in the summer for €4.9 million.

Meanwhile, AS Roma, who loaned Romano to Cagliari, would likely prefer to keep him when he returns. However, the price he commands has likely increased since his international debut. With Juventus facing competition for his services, it remains to be seen whether the club can secure his services for a substantial amount. In the meantime, Romano's priority will be continuing his development with Cagliari and building on his performances in midfield.
