Old already but from FI:
Juve poach Berardi in Jan?
By Football Italia staff
Juventus could sign Domenico Berardi in January, handing Simone Zaza back to Sassuolo, to stop Barcelona getting there first.
The Bianconeri already have an option to buy Berardi for €18m next season, rising to €25m in 2017.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, interest from Barcelona for impressive 21-year-old Berardi has frightened the Turin giants into taking action as early as January.
They’d hand over €20m plus Zaza – who left Sassuolo over the summer and is struggling for playing time at Juventus – to bring Berardi in mid-season.
Berardi only turned 21 last month, but has scored a remarkable 31 Serie A goals.

I call BS. No Sassuoulo attacker but him look impressive really, yeah they play counter attacking footie, but Di Francesco ain't no Zeman that make attackers seem alot better. Berardi has been carrying them for 3 years in a row, 1 in B and two in A. Zaza barely looked impressive enough for them and Sansone is way too inconsistent. Yeah Berardi takes pks and that has been mentionned alot, valid point, except he also tends to get his own pks and someone has to have the skill to consistently score them. Not to mention he assists plenty and in overall has been a near historical level efficient youngster in numbers. And he does this all as a winger and not CF.
R.Baggio called him the best young talent in Italy today. Hands down.
