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

Alessandro Romano has just made his debut for the Italian national team, allowing more Juventus fans to see the player the club has been following over the last few weeks.

The 20-year-old plays in midfield for Cagliari on loan from AS Roma and has impressed enough for Roberto Mancini to hand him his international debut against Belgium. The match ended in a 2-0 defeat, but the result did not take away from the significance of Romano’s first appearance for Italy.

His involvement with the national team highlights the expectations surrounding him, while Juventus remains interested in adding some of the country’s most promising players to its squad. The Bianconeri believe in moving quickly when emerging Italian talent becomes available, and Romano has now attracted further attention after making his international debut.

Romano continues to impress at Cagliari

There are already significant expectations surrounding the midfielder, but he has continued to perform well whenever he plays for Cagliari. His development has also pleased AS Roma, who will be encouraged by how much he has progressed during his loan spell.

Roma would like to keep Romano when he returns, but every player has a price. Cagliari currently has a €4.9 million option to make his transfer permanent in the summer, which could give the club an opportunity to secure his services on a permanent basis.

Juventus faces competition for Romano

However, Romano’s value appears to have increased considerably since that agreement was established. Calciomercato says he is now valued at €20 million, meaning Juventus would have to spend significantly more if they decide to make a serious move for the midfielder.

That valuation could make negotiations more complicated for Juventus, particularly with interest in a player who is continuing to develop and has now earned recognition at international level. His debut against Belgium could further increase the attention surrounding his future.

For now, Romano’s priority will be continuing his development with Cagliari and building on his performances in midfield. Juventus will continue to monitor his progress, but any attempt to sign him could require a substantial investment if his current valuation remains at €20 million.
