Chelsea To Poach Giovinco’s Brother From Juve?
According to reports in Italy, Chelsea are looking to poach the younger brother of Sebastian Giovinco from Juventus, before he signs a professional contract with the club.
Giovinco Sr is currently regarded as one of the most explosive talents in the whole of Europe, however few know that he has a very talented younger brother.
Giuseppe Giovinco plays for the Juventus Berretti squad, which consists of players under the age of 19.
The 17-year-old plays in the same creative position as his elder sibling, although he is said to be more physical, and ever so slightly taller.
Chelsea are said to be impressed by Giovinco Jr’s talent, and are looking to poach him from Juventus, before he signs his first professional contract.
"So far I have not received offers,” said Giuseppe’s agent Andrea D’Amico.
“However I am not surprised if Giuseppe has been followed by Chelsea and other English clubs as they observe in a systematic manner all the youth leagues of our country.”
There has been an escalating row building in recent months between Serie A and the Premiership, with a number of Italian clubs accusing English teams of “stealing” their young players before they sign a professional contract.
Reggina’s 15-year-old prospect Vincenzo Camilleri was snapped up by Chelsea in February, Atalanta’s teenage talent Fabio Zamblera by Newcastle Utd, while a few years back Parma-duo Giuseppe Rossi and Arturo Lupoli were signed by Man Utd and Arsenal respectively.
This all led to Palermo President Maurizio Zamaparini famously labelling English clubs earlier this month as “pirates”.

What's this nonsense? Wasn't Platini supposed to stop this?
