For over a month now his name was on everyone's lips: we are taking about Nicolò Curti stopper that is just sixteen years old and was just signed by Juventus with the formula of co-ownership for 400 thousand euros. This figure is quite significant, since it is about a boy of the '95 class, but with a bright future for the player without a doubt. TuttoJuve.com interviewed the manager of the youth player from Perugia, Riccardo Mazzola, or the first person to believe in the potential of the new Alessandro Nesta.
For weeks Curti-mania has broken out, surprised?
"Not at all. Knowing the talent and the seriousness of the boy I never had any doubt, indeed I'm sure he will do great things."
Juventus has beaten other big clubs to get him...
"I can confirm that Juventus have been very good at convincing the boy to marry it's own project. Moreover, the Bianconeri have shown to strongly believe in Curti, as they are ready to pay 1mln euros in addition to Perugia for the eventual buyback in June ".
Who else was chasing the player?
"The first one to move for Curti was Inter who last fall would have wanted to test the player in Appiano Gentile for a trial period. Then there was negotiations with Roma, which had come to details, then came Juve and got the player. "
Despite his young age, Curti had already starred in the first team ...
"The identity card says he has 16 years, but his tactic is to mature as a veteran who has managed to play without problems in a professional league, churning out excellent performance. Besides, often played as a right-back and doing very well ".
His role is central, however ...
"That is correct. Skilful central defender at marking, but also good at ball at feet. Excellent technique and vision of the game worthy of a midfielder."
You described him as the new Nesta?
"I said that in an interview last summer, where I said I was sure of the potential of Curti and seen the elegance and timing in marking of a certain Alessandro Nesta. Today, I add that if this continues Nicolò has the potential to make a career worthy and equal to that of the Milan player. "
