Juventus are reportedly keeping a close eye on Roma's rising star Niccolo Pisilli, a 21-year-old midfielder who has quickly become a key player for the capital side. Born and raised in Rome, Pisilli joined Roma's academy at a young age and made his first-team breakthrough last season, shining as one of the few bright spots in an otherwise turbulent campaign marked by poor results and multiple managerial changes.
This season, the young Italian has carved out a vital role under Gian Piero Gasperini, amassing 31 appearances across all competitions with four goals and three assists. Whether playing as a deep-lying midfielder or a more advanced playmaker, Pisilli's versatility and composure have been turning heads—especially in Turin. According to Tuttosport, Juventus have already made inquiries about the youngster's services.
The Bianconeri's interest is fueled by a familiar connection: Luciano Spalletti, who handed Pisilli his Italy debut in October 2024 during a 2-2 Nations League draw against Belgium. Spalletti has been a vocal supporter of Pisilli's development and would relish the chance to reunite with his former national team protégé in club football.
However, Roma appear determined to hold onto their homegrown talent, even if it means passing up potential capital gains. This isn't the first time Juventus have looked to Roma's roster—recent months have seen links to Zeki Celik and Lorenzo Pellegrini, both on expiring contracts, as well as speculative swap deals involving Teun Koopmeiners for Evan Ndicka.
As the Serie A season heats up, both clubs are locked in a fierce battle for Champions League spots alongside Milan and Como. Pisilli's name adds another layer of intrigue to this growing rivalry, making him one to watch—both on the pitch and in the transfer market.
