CM Sources – Juventus plan raid on Atleti for talented 21-year-old striker
The Old Lady are planning to sign a new striker in the next summer transfer window or, maybe, earlier, especially if Mario Mandzukic asks to leave the club.
The Croat is not being given enough game time this season, duo to the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain and might ask the Old Lady to get some more somewhere else.
Correa, 21, is one of Mandzukic’s potential replacements: he’s young, versatile and has an international pedigree already.
Juventus have been scouting the player for very long time. Juventus scouts were watching him also when he was a San Lorenzo player. At that time, Atletico were faster than the Old Lady to sign the striker.
Fabio Paratici asked information about Correa in the last summer transfer window, but the Spanish side refused to sit around the negotiations table to talk about one of their most exciting prospects.
If Mandzukic leaves, a new attempt will be made in summer 2017, but it would take a very tempting offer to convince Atletico Madrid to sell their starlet.
