The race to sign Leo Ortiz, Flamengo’s central defender, has heated up as he has drawn significant interest from Juventus’ transfer market to replace the injured Gleison Bremer.
According to Tuttosport, a number of Juventus scouts have travelled to Brazil to continue monitoring Giuntoli’s target in Flamengo’s matches.
Currently, the club from Rio de Janeiro does not seem ready to part with their prized asset.
However, everything could change in the coming weeks if the Bianconeri’s offer becomes substantial.
Juventus is indeed looking to pull off a double swoop in January.
