Diego Laxalt impressed Juventus in Genoa’s 4-2 defeat, perhaps enough to earn him a transfer to Turin rather than Leonardo Spinazzola.

The 24-year-old Uruguay international surged up the left flank repeatedly during yesterday’s Marassi thriller.

According to Sportitalia, he caught the eye of Bianconeri directors and Coach Max Allegri.

Juve made no secret of the fact they were trying to bring back Italy international Spinazzola early from his two-season loan with Atalanta.

Diego Laxalt impressed Juventus in Genoa’s 4-2 defeat, perhaps enough to earn him a transfer to Turin rather than Leonardo Spinazzola.

The 24-year-old Uruguay international surged up the left flank repeatedly during yesterday’s Marassi thriller.

According to Sportitalia, he caught the eye of Bianconeri directors and Coach Max Allegri.

Juve made no secret of the fact they were trying to bring back Italy international Spinazzola early from his two-season loan with Atalanta.

The Orobici refused to terminate the agreement and so he will remain in Bergamo for another season.

Curiously, one of Juve’s tactics for getting Atalanta to release Spinazzola was buying Laxalt and passing him on to the Bergamo boys.

Now it’s possible Laxalt will simply come to Turin himself for the left flank, where he’ll be the understudy to Alex Sandro.

With his arrival, Juve could then sell Kwadwo Asamoah to Galatasaray.
