SERIE A – European heavyweights scout Chievo Primavera prodigy

An exciting prospect has recently emerged from Chievo Verona’s youth ranks – 17-year-old attacking midfielder Samuele Vignato has taken huge strides in the Primavera second division by making 25 goal contributions in 18 appearances for Chievo Primavera. His performances have garnered unprecedented attention from some of Europe’s top clubs, including Serie A giants Inter, Milan and Juventus. La Gazzetta dello Sport also report Barcelona and Bayern Munich to be closely scouting the youth talent.

Chievo recent expulsion from Serie B due to financial difficulties might pressure them to part ways with Vignato, who is one of the club’s brightest stars. Bologna are also in contention to lure him, as his brother and Italy U20 international Emanuel Vignato plays there. It might prove to help his development as a teenager.
