Juventus intensifies bid for Parma striker Mateo Pellegrino

Juventus have moved from exploratory talks to a formal proposal for Parma’s Argentine centre‑forward Mateo Pellegrino. The club offered a loan with an obligation to buy set at €30 million, conditioned on Juventus finishing in the Serie A top half next season. Parma rejected the opening offer, preferring an immediate full‑fee transfer rather than a loan arrangement.

Agents for Pellegrino are expected in Turin at the end of the month to discuss terms, while the player has expressed interest in joining Juventus despite interest from Premier League and La Liga clubs. Juventus continue to pursue other targets, notably Paris Saint‑Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani, but see Pellegrino as a potential addition to reinforce their attack.

Negotiations are set to resume in the coming hours, with Parma demanding a higher upfront payment and Juventus needing to present guarantees to satisfy the Italian club’s conditions.
