Juve buy half of hat-trick hero

Juventus have snapped up Francesco Grandolfo, who hit headlines by scoring a hat-trick on his full Serie A debut for Bari.

The 18-year-old striker took Italy by storm when he netted a treble in his first Serie A start, a 4-0 victory over Bologna.

It’s reported Juventus have now bought up half of Grandolfo’s contract in the same negotiations that secured Sergio Almiron’s signature.

Grandolfo will spend next season at Bari to earn more experience.

Three very easy goals. Poor defending.

 

[Lo-Pan]

Simple goals...but still, its encouraging to see our scouts are hard at work, and we are investing in youth.

Good signing for the future.

Let's see how he goes in Serie B with regular playing time.

 

[Bjerknes]

Nice finish for the second goal, but can anybody offer any evidence as to why this isn't a knee-jerk signing?

Always good signing young players. easy goals one was nice but you need to be in the right spot. dont see why anyone should be angry about this.

If anyone feels like watching, because I don't.

I could have been in the right spot for the first goal.

Nobody is angry, just a healthy dose of questioning.

From what I understand as a favour for signing the remainder of Almiron's contract from Bari, they also offered us to buy 50% of Grandolfo. They are in pretty big financial trouble so need all the money they can get

They get some much needed cash off us, we get 50% of a promising youngster in return. Win-win for both parties I guess.

Never seen him play but I really hope we didn't sign him just because of that hattrick.

 

[Nenz]

What position? Striker? He looks good in that video.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Yep striker.

Grandolfo >>>>>>>>>> Giovinco

 

[JUVE_MONGOLIA]

How much did we pay for 50% of this kid.

 

[Salvo]

Half of Sorensen and 5ml

Well, his hat-trick in serie A is definitely what attracted us the most. But considering how we have like million scouts around Italy I wouldn't be surprised if we noticed the kid even earlier. He scored 16 goals in 23 matches for Bari in the Primavera this season (5th topscorer in Primavera league) and that earned him promotion to the senior squad by the end of the season.
We definitely knew him from before.
Were we gonna sign him without the hat-trick? I don't know.

As I said in the other thread, good to take advantage of such deals, and get some share of a youngster.
