Two years have almost passed since Elvis Kabashi left Juventus and now rumours have spread saying that Juventus are interested in signing another Albanian. 18-year-old Rey Manaj have caught the eye of the current leaders in Italy.

Sources to Calciomercato actually said that Juventus already had made a deal with Manaj closing at around €2 Million. This forced Cremonese to make a statement where they announced that he will not join Juventus and that he remains a Cremonese player. Manaj, who has been a part of Sampdoria’s primavera team earlier, is currently at Cremonese playing in Italy’s Lega Pro division.

Bianconeri are not the only ones chasing Albania’s U21 player. Even Fiorentina, Inter and Spanish Atletico Madrid are amongst the teams that have been linked with the striker. Lazio as well but then again with an Albanian sporting director on board, is there any Albanian player left that has not been linked with Lazio?
