Juventus still tracking Varandas’ right-hand man at Sporting | OneFootball

Bernardo Palmeiro remains on Juventus' list. The general director for football at Sporting was mentioned as one of the names on the agenda of the vecchia signora in recent months, but now he seems to be 'competing' for the position with Marco Ottolini.

The information is being reported by Matteo Moretto, who also reveals that the Italian is in 'pole position' to take on this role at the Serie A club. However, no decision has been made 100% yet, and the Sporting official is still being considered.

Experts assure that Bernardo Palmeiro was a name that Juventus “explored in recent weeks,” as he has done “significant work” at Sporting, which is viewed favorably by the management of the giant Turin club.

It is worth noting that, according to information reported by the newspaper Record, Sporting has no knowledge of any approach to Bernardo Palmeiro, either by Juventus or any other club that might be interested in the director.

Bernardo Palmeiro had previously been at Sporting - between 2020 and 2023 - as a legal advisor for football. The lawyer, specializing in sports law, returned to Alvalade about a year ago to replace Hugo Viana, although he only started his duties in February.
