Not even Primavera, U16 level. I'm not so bothered with this one. It's a missed opportunity but it would have cost us little to keep him if the club saw something. He might have been in Serie D now if Juve kept him on. How many guys come back from being released and dropping down to the netherworld to then come back up to the top? It's got to be less than 1%.
He played in the Gozzano youth team in Serie D before the first team took a chance on him, where he's playing with guys who worked in a factory or supermarket. Then he plays for the first team and suddenly he's on the radar and gets the move to Fiorentina because Gozzano went bust. Those years from 16-18 he grew a lot. Not all players have evident talent at 15 (and apparently he was pretty poor technically), some develop later.
I think he's a great story though. It's not a mistake like a Huijsen or some clear wonderkid, or even a guy with considerable talent, it's a kid who made the most of what he had and did great.
