During last season, newly promoted Hellas Verona proved to be Serie A’s surprise due to their entertaining style of play and a very prepared coach, Mandorlini. However, much of the team’s success came from the performance of one player, Juan Manuel Iturbe.
Surely Iturbe must have picked up some good advices from colleague Lionel Messi
The Argentinian left-midfielder is this year’s revelation and attracted the attention of the biggest clubs in Europe. Initially, Barcelona was interested and then, Liverpool started monitoring the player. Now, AC Milan apparently made a €25M bid for the player and AS Roma, the team believed to be ahead of every competitor, now has to make a move.
Juan Manuel Iturbe is currently playing for Argentina's U20 team
Iturbe is a modern player, extremely fast, with great vision and superb skills. He provides coverage, yet plays as an additional striker, always finding room thanks to his incredible pace. The Argentinian scored 8 goals in 33 appearances this year and was purchased by Hellas from Porto for €15M. Former River Plate talent is predestined for a big club and all that is left to know, is which one.

Interestingly, and suggestive of the player’s quality, although the young midfielder started with the Paraguayan national team, Iturbe was later asked to join the Argentinian national team in 2010, a call he could not refuse.
