Brighton tell Juventus they're ready to swoop for Bianconeri player in January

Brighton have signalled to Juventus they're ready to bid for winger Adin Licina in January; Leipzig also competing.

Brighton have intensified their interest in Juventus winger Adin Licina, informing the Serie A club they could make a move as early as January. The 19-year-old was signed by Juventus from Bayern Munich last year and is currently on loan at Serie B side Cremonese, where he has featured regularly and contributed two goals this season.

Licina is being compared to Dean Huijsen as a young talent who could leave Juventus before receiving significant first-team opportunities. Juventus view the Cremonese loan as part of their long-term development plan, but face a decision in the coming weeks with Brighton and RB Leipzig both competing for his signature.

Cremonese would prefer to keep Licina through the end of the season, believing he will be crucial to their campaign. While a move to Brighton would represent a significant opportunity, some believe it may come too early in his development given his inconsistent recent form in the second division.
