Agent: 'Verbal deal for Berardi’
By Football Italia staff
Domenico Berardi’s agent says there is 'a verbal agreement’ that the striker will move from Sassuolo to Juventus for €25m in June.
The 21-year-old has been linked with the Old Lady throughout the season, but agent Simone Seghedoni refused to reject interest from Premeir League clubs including Tottenham.
“In recent years, everyone has said that Domenico had to go to Juventus, but he belongs entirely to Sassuolo,” Seghedoni told Tuttojuve.com.
“It’s out of the question that there are agreements between the two clubs, but there are verbal agreements, without anything written, that Juventus can sign the player in June for €25m.
“We will evaluate the best solution with him.
“Tottenham? There are lots of teams at the moment who have come to follow Dominic, I'm not surprised at all by English interest. In recent months many teams have come to watch him that haven’t even been in the newspapers.
"Domenico needs to grow, I find it hard to predict what will happen in June, but he will remain in Sassuolo over January, unless something sensational happens.”

'Rugani, Zaza treatment a bad sign’
By Football Italia staff
The lack of playing time for Daniele Rugani and Simone Zaza at Juventus 'isn’t a good sign’ for Sassuolo’s Domenico Berardi, says his agent.
The Italy Under-21 international appears set to leave the Neroverdi in the summer, but the Bianconeri’s failure to offer youngsters game time is a problem.
“In June we will evaluate what will be best way for him to develop: the player is more than ready for the big jump,” agent Simone Seghedoni told Tuttojuve.com.
“The problem is going to a big club and playing 10 games a year, this isn’t something that would suit Berardi.
“For others maybe yes, but not for him. Ten games isn’t good. However, if he’s a leading player then he will be fine.
“On that point, Juventus or any other team will be taken into consideration. Lately some guys bought by Juventus in June, including Rugani and Zaza, have not played much and this isn’t a good sign.”
