Clearly the U-20 coaches who should IMO do alot of scouting to pick the best players, thought that a 17 year old player is good enought for the u-20. I also read on another forum that Paratici wanted him already a year ago, Im sure the scouts for Juventus and Brazil u-20 have seen something special. No one here has seen the guy play enought to make a judgement. You write that people don't know how he plays yet, thats because we havent seen him. Im sure Paratici has especially if we are going to spend alot of money on him.
Im not saying he is going to be a world class player, but im sure Juventus has done their scouting if we spend 11 million euros on a 17 year old player.
