Sportmediaset reported that Juventus had also been working on Pellegrino, but that the striker appeared to be heading towards Fiorentina.
In a later update, Goal reported that Parma were close to signing Tigre forward David Romero. Goal said Romero’s possible arrival could affect Parma’s outgoing business and potentially facilitate a sale of Pellegrino.
Goal also reported that Juventus were continuing to track Pellegrino, but would need to reduce their attacking department before making concrete moves for the forward.
Sergio Lattanzi
