Juventus have won the race for winger Riccardo Orsolini, confirmed Ascoli and his agent. “It’s all done, we just need to sign.”

The right-sided attacking wide man turns 20 later this month and came up through the Ascoli youth academy, where this season he has four goals and four assists in 21 Serie B appearances.

“It’s all done, we just need to sign – Riccardo is a Juve player,” agent Donato Di Campli told Rai Sport.

“We thank those who showed interest, including Napoli, Atalanta, Bologna, Fiorentina and Sampdoria, but the player thought about it for a long time and chose Juve.”

The deal is believed to be worth €5.5m with another €4.5m in bonuses and he’ll remain at Ascoli until June.

“It’s a good move for the player, for Juventus and for Ascoli,” club President Francesco Bellini told GianlucaDiMarzio.com.

“If Orsolini had not shown what he can do, then he never would’ve gone to Juve. There were other clubs who wanted him too, as in the past there were English clubs, while this season along with Juve there were Milan, Napoli and Atalanta.

“There was a lot of competition, but it is always very important in these situations to listen to what the player wants too. That was decisive for Orsolini, knowing the quality of the club he was going to.

“It’s crucial that Orsolini has technique and quality, but is also strong mentally. He’s an intelligent lad and deserves this opportunity. I am very proud of all that he is doing.”
