Maduro catches Juventus eye Thursday 13 October, 2005
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Italian champions Juventus are reportedly monitoring the performances of Ajax youngster Hedwiges Maduro.
Transfer guru Luciano Moggi has been impressed with the 20-year-old, who has already been likened to Edgar Davids and Frank Rijkaard in his homeland.
Moggi is understood to have sent scout Franco Ceravolo to the Czech Republic – Holland tie last week to watch the player.
Holland won the game 2-0 and Maduro underlined his potential with a powerful performance in the World Cup clash.
The youngster, who should appear at the German Finals next year, is contracted to the Dutch giants until 2008 and currently earns just £200,000 a season.
