Several major European clubs, including Juventus, are monitoring the 22-year-old Italian midfielder after a strong start in Spain.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Soccer
Juventus is among several major European clubs following Lorenzo Amatucci, a 22-year-old Italian central midfielder who plays for Deportivo de A Coruña. Amatucci has made a strong start to the current campaign in Spain.
Why it matters
Interest from a club of Juventus's profile highlights how young players who perform well in Spain's top flight can attract attention from Italy's elite. For Amatucci, it signals his progression after a developmental path through Fiorentina's academy and loan spells.
Amatucci won the UEFA European Under-19 Championship with Italy in 2023 and signed a five-year contract with Deportivo in July 2026. No transfer fee or formal bid from Juventus has been reported.
The players
Lorenzo Amatucci
Lorenzo Amatucci is a 22-year-old Italian central midfielder known for his deep-lying playmaking and his development through Fiorentina's academy.
Deportivo de A Coruña
Deportivo de A Coruña is a Spanish football club based in A Coruña in Galicia, which currently holds Amatucci's contract.
Juventus
Juventus is an Italian football club based in Turin and one of the most successful clubs in Serie A history.
The details
Amatucci was born in Arezzo and came through Fiorentina's academy before spending loan periods at Salernitana and Las Palmas. He is a right-footed, deep-lying playmaker, and Juventus scouts have been monitoring his performances.
Timeline
2023: Amatucci wins the UEFA European Under-19 Championship with Italy.
July 2026: Amatucci signs a permanent five-year deal with Deportivo de A Coruña.
November 2026: Juventus scouting interest is reported amid a strong start to the season.
Season Trajectory
Amatucci's move from Italian youth development into a permanent Spanish deal follows a path that many young Italian midfielders have taken to earn top-club attention. His early-season form in La Liga could reshape the competitive market for his services ahead of the next transfer window.
Amatucci's five-year contract at Deportivo keeps him in Spain through the 2031 period, so any Juventus move would require a formal transfer agreement. Fans tracking midfield options should note that his deep-lying playmaking role is distinct from the attacking midfielders most often linked with the club.
The takeaway
Young midfielders who perform consistently in Spain can quickly move from development squads to the attention of Europe's largest clubs. Watching early-season form is often the clearest signal of who may next change clubs.
