“I saw Kean arrive at Juventus when he was 10,” Paratici said via Violanews.

“I already said in the past that he’s the best Italian striker, and it’s only up to him. We must put him in a condition to give his best. I haven’t talked to him yet. I know him so well that I don’t have much to tell him. He must focus on who we are today.”
