Juventus have joined Inter and Napoli in monitoring Monza striker Gustavo Varela, according to a report from The Cult of Calcio. The Bianconeri sent a scout to assess Varela during Torino's 3-2 win over Monza. Varela scored in the loss, taking his Serie A tally to seven goals. He has also scored twice in the Coppa Italia.
Varela's impressive start to the season has drawn interest from several Serie A clubs. Inter's sporting director Dario Baccin recently watched him play at the Brianteo. Varela joined Monza from Benfica for €3.5 million and has a contract until June 2030. His market value has risen to around €20m.
Monza are determined to retain Varela during the January transfer window. However, they may consider a sale next summer if interest from top Italian clubs grows. Juventus are still assessing their attacking options and Varela's youth and ability make him an interesting prospect.
