Juve director Fabio Paratici was spotted with Ascoli chief Cristiano Giaretta today, sparking reports of an imminent deal.

“There was an initial exploratory meeting with Juventus for Orsolini, but for now it’s just a chat, nothing in-depth,” Ascoli director of sport Giaretta told Sportitalia.

“The two clubs are reflecting on some issues.”

Orsolini’s price-tag is expected to be around €3m, but with Juve also now in the running, that figure could rise.
