Juventus are ready to complete the signing of 18-year-old Argentine midfielder Enzo Barrenechea from FC Sion, sources have confirmed to Goal.
The Serie A giants have been monitoring Barrenechea for some time, and he joined the Swiss side from Newell’s Old Boys in the summer.
Sion took Barrenechea from Argentina under direction from Juventus, and he has impressed the club’s scouts enough to warrant a move – despite never playing in the Swiss Super League.
He has spent six months with Sion’s under-21 side, and will link up with the under-19, or Primavera, squad in Turin.
Barrenechea has already arrived in Turin to formally complete the transfer.
A tall central midfielder from Villa Maria in central Argentina, he caught the eyes of Juve’s scouting team with his excellent technique.
