Roma and Bahia Set Sights on Two Juventus Talents

Roma and Bahia have tested the waters for Juventus starlets Dean Huijsen and Kaio Jorge, but both sides are likely to come up empty-handed. The former is a lot closer to Frosinone, while the Brazilian striker should stay where he is.

Per SportMediaset, the Giallorossi tried to hijack the Ciociari’s addition. However, his transfer to the minnow is just a matter of time. Massimiliano Allegri decided to keep him a while longer due to their Coppa Italia games and Alex Sandro’s injury. In addition, the Old Lady doesn’t want to help out a rival. Instead, his camp would have happily accepted the destination.

Like Roma for Huijsen, Bahia will probably strike out for Kaio Jorge as well, as Juventus don’t want to sell. According to Goal, the City Football Group’s representatives are trying to bring the talent back to their home country to strengthen the squad after a middling season.

On the other hand, the Bianconeri aren’t contemplating his departure at this stage, Tuttomercatoweb relays. He’ll likely finish the season with Frosinone, where he has recently become a starter following a long rehab.

Our Take on Roma, Juventus, Huijsen, and Kaio Jorge

The Giallorossi probably simply probed whether they could bag a prospect for cheap, but they need readier contributors. The striker going back to Brazil might have had some logic in the summer to help him get his mojo back, but not now that he’s finding his footing in Serie A.
