Domenico Berardi

[Squiggles]

Anyone know anything of this lad? I know nothing other than he has eye-catching stats.



He's 21. Currently playing for a midtable Italian side on loan from Juventus.

This year: 15 goals, 10 assists in 34 appearances .
Year previous: 16 goals 9 assists 30 appearances

Playing Style...
A quick and hardworking left-footed player with an eye for goal, Berardi is capable of being deployed in several offensive positions on either side of the pitch, or through the centre; he has been utilised as a striker and as a supporting forward, although his preferred position is that of a winger.[22] Berardi is regarded as one of the most talented and promising young footballers of his generation;[23] in 2014, Don Balón listed him as one of the top-100 young players in the world.[24] Former Milan and Italy manager, Arrigo Sacchi, has described Berardi as "a player of great talent, a modern footballer who plays for the team all over the field. The liveliness, intuition, temperament, strength combine with a good technique."[25]

Juventus considering cashing in? http://www.football-italia.net/66889/juventus-could-sell-berardi

Could be a decent contender.

No more Italians Squiggles haven't we learnt anything?

A very exciting player to watch, has done well this season ... deserves a chance at Juve but when you have the likes of Morata, Tevez, Llorrente etc it's very difficult.

Having said that both Tevez & Llorente could be sold this summer so a chance might be there for him.

Another player to keep an eye out for is Andrea Belotti who is a striker.

Both Berardi & Belotti will be in the starting lineup for Italy in the upcoming U21 world cup.

[article=http://www.football-italia.net/67834/berardi-agent-%E2%80%98juventus-or-sassuolo%E2%80%99]Domenico Berardi’s agent says his client will either go to Juventus to play, or remain at Sassuolo, ruling out a loan deal.

The forward has been one of the best young strikers in Serie A over the past two seasons, and is co-owned by the Neroverdi and the Old Lady.

Bianconeri Coach Massimiliano Allegri has praised the young forward, but his representative is not sure whether he’ll be in Turin next season.

“We’ll understand what is going to happen in the coming days, but I’m glad to see that he [Allegri] has such clear ideas about Domenico,” Simone Seghedoni told SportItalia.

“We’re very pleased, but it’s not a done deal, it’s a situation which is still hard to decipher. The key thing is to understand what the right path for Domenico is.

“It’s good to have Juventus and Sassuolo interested in having him play for their respective teams. Now my job is to protect Domenico, trying not to interrupt his process of growth.

“Understand that it’s not simple, because Juventus want the player, but Sassuolo have helped him enormously, and we have to say ‘thank you’ to the Coach [Eusebio] Di Francesco for what he has given him.

“We have to take all these things into account. I think this week will be important to define Domenico’s future.

“Unlike other players I can think of, who seem to me to already be sure of wearing the Juventus shirt, there’s a question mark over Domenico, and [Sassuolo President Giorgio] Squinzi’s statements were indicative of that.

“He said that if Sassuolo lose Berardi they could have some problems, and these statements pleased us. I have to help the lad make the best choice.

“The relationship between Juventus and Sassuolo is very good, so I don’t think it will go to the envelopes [a blind auction], but on June 25, at the end of the co-ownership I think things will be defined.

“It could be resolved before then, but I wouldn’t give a timeframe, and we haven’t been given one.

“A loan if Juventus sign him? That’s the only thing I think I can rule out, I think these two solutions [Juventus or Sassuolo] are the best for Domenico.

“Juventus are the champions of Italy, Sassuolo are the team which always believed in him, where he’s found something really important, in human terms too.

“These are the two options, at the moment I can’t see a third.”

Seghedoni did admit that Berardi would enjoy playing alongside the likes of Paulo Dybala and Carlos Tevez in Turin.

“He’s definitely in good company from that point of view. They’re all great players, and Domenico would be lucky to play with them.

“Could he play trequartista? He’s a winger, who does well in a 4-3-3 which best unlocks his power and potential.

“That said, he has so much technical quality that I don’t think his position is an issue, because Domenico has the ability to play well in any position.

“We’ll see, we hope to make the best choice for him.”[/article]

Seghedoni wants only the best for the player's career there. Now compare that to super agent Aidy Ward.
