Juventus knocks on Deportivo's door
The Italian team has set its sights on one of the most talented footballers from the Galician team, returning to LaLiga eight years later.
Lorenzo Amatucci, 22-year-old Italian midfielder from Deportivo da Coruña, has entered the group of players being monitored by Juventus for future market operations. The information, revealed by journalist Mirko Di Natale, places the player on the radar of the Turin club after his early performances in LaLiga during the 2026-2027 season.
The monitoring comes just a few months after his arrival at Riazor. Deportivo signed Amatucci in July from Fiorentina, following his loan to UD Las Palmas, and signed him to a contract until June 2031. The deal was closed for 2.5 million euros plus variables, according to information published by AS.
Juventus is following Lorenzo Amatucci due to his performance in LaLiga
The interest from the Italian club is due to Amatucci's performance in his first campaign in the top tier of Spanish football. His ability to participate in the construction of play and his consistency in midfield have placed him among the players that the sporting officials of Juventus are observing.
The data from his season supports this continuity. According to records from LaLiga, the midfielder has accumulated 10 matches, 9 starts, 836 minutes, and 1 assist in the competition. Although he has not scored yet, his presence in Antonio Hidalgo's lineups reflects the role he has taken on in the Coruña team.
Di Natale's information suggests that Juventus is not the only club keeping an eye on his development, though it does not identify other suitors. For now, the scenario is one of sporting observation rather than confirmed negotiations for his acquisition.
For the Turin club, Amatucci represents an option worth watching due to his age and adaptation to Spanish football. His progress in a highly demanding competition may provide useful references before deciding whether to proceed in the market.

Italy counts on Amatucci again as his projection grows
Juventus' monitoring coincides with another relevant piece of news for the midfielder: his return to the Italy U21 national team. The federation has included him in the November call-up to play two preparatory matches against France on November 13 and Belgium on November 16.
The international call-up represents a new opportunity for Amatucci, who re-joins the team after more than a year without participating with the U21. The two matches will serve to prepare for the U21 European Championship in 2027, which will be held in Albania and Serbia.
His recent trajectory explains why he has gained visibility. Before signing with Deportivo, he played 42 official matches with Las Palmas during the 2025-2026 season and provided 4 assists. That campaign allowed him to establish himself in Spanish football before making the leap to the First Division.
The midfielder also went through Italian football during his time at Salernitana and Ternana, after being developed in Fiorentina's youth academy. That previous experience facilitates his adaptation to a possible return to Italy, although it does not imply that a decision has been made about his future.
Deportivo has room to decide his future
The contractual situation favors Deportivo da Coruña. The Galician club has linked Amatucci until 2031, so it has leeway to manage any approach that may occur in the upcoming transfer windows.
His recent signing is also a relevant factor: the team invested in him during the summer and counts on his participation for the current season. An eventual departure would require evaluating both the economic conditions and the sporting impact of losing a midfielder who has already accumulated eight league starts.
The next steps will depend on the evolution of the monitoring and the decisions made by Juventus in their sporting planning. In the meantime, Lorenzo Amatucci will seek to maintain his continuity with Deportivo and take advantage of the call-up from Italy to strengthen his position in the market.
