Sportmediaset: Baccin in Monza to watch Romano, also on Juventus’ radar

Inter are reported to have watched Alessandro Romano in person again. According to Sportmediaset, Dario Baccin was at the Brianteo on 19 October for Monza v Cagliari and watched the Cagliari midfielder, who is also of interest to Juventus. Piero Ausilio, whom Baccin replaced as Inter’s sporting director, was also in the stands.

This would represent another scouting visit to watch the same player: Tuttosport reports that Baccin had already watched Romano against Atalanta. The midfielder was also recently called up to the national team by Roberto Mancini.

Born in 2006, Romano joined Cagliari after spells at Roma and Spezia. He is a central midfielder who can also play in a holding role or on either side of a midfield three: that versatility was highlighted at his summer unveiling, as reported by ANSA.

The scouting trip to Brianza, the area around Monza, is also said to have focused on attacking options. According to Tuttosport, Baccin watched Cagliari’s Paul Mendy and Monza’s Gustavo Varela. The latter scored twice in the hosts’ 4-0 win: his second brace of the league campaign, taking his Serie A tally to six goals. For now, the reports concern the monitoring of players, with no indication of any bids or talks having begun.
