Juventus are edging closer to finalizing the appointment of their new sporting director, with Genoa’s Marco Ottolini emerging as the leading candidate for the role, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Romano reported that the Bianconeri are “advancing in the process” to secure Ottolini’s services, with discussions currently underway to reach a final decision soon. The Turin-based club has made the appointment of a sporting director a key priority as they continue restructuring their management and sporting operations.
Ottolini, who currently serves as Genoa’s sporting director, has earned widespread recognition in Italian football for his smart recruitment strategies and ability to identify undervalued talent. His role in helping Genoa build a competitive side since their return to Serie A has not gone unnoticed, with Juventus viewing him as a strong fit for their long-term vision.
The move would mark another significant step in Juventus’ ongoing efforts to rebuild stability and competitiveness after a challenging few seasons marred by off-field controversies and fluctuating performances. The club hierarchy sees the sporting director role as crucial in shaping a more sustainable transfer strategy and fostering youth development.
