Bernardo Palmeiro, current general director of Sporting, is on Juventus’ list of candidates for the position of new sporting director. The club, which has already won two Champions Leagues and has also shown great interest in Morten Hjulmand, now has the Sporting executive under close watch.

The information was reported by Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moreto—Italian journalists specializing in transfer market matters—who guarantee that, although Palmeiro is being considered, the main candidate is Marco Ottolini, sporting director of Cagliari.

The experts confirm that Bernardo Palmeiro was a name that Juventus “explored in recent weeks,” as he has done “significant work” at Sporting, which is viewed positively by the management of the Turin giant, which has already won two Champions Leagues.

However, according to information from the newspaper Record, Sporting has no knowledge of any approach to Bernardo Palmeiro, either from Juventus or any other club that might be interested in the executive.

Bernardo Palmeiro had already worked at Sporting—between 2020 and 2023—as a legal advisor for football. The lawyer, a specialist in sports law, would end up returning to Alvalade about a year ago to replace Hugo Viana, although he only started his duties in February.
