Moreno and Correia exchanged clubs, with the two young strikers accepting long-term contracts.
Juventus confirmed the recruitment of Felix Correia from Manchester City, in exchange for Pablo Moreno as part of the transfer deal.
Moreno is part of the City squad with a four-year contract and will move to the Premier League club at the start of the transfer window this summer.
Meanwhile, Correia, has signed a five-year contract with the reigning Serie A champions, who will keep him in Turin until June 2025.
Moreno, who is on the NxGn Goal list of the world’s top 50 wonderkids, has strengthened Juventus U-23 in the last two seasons, after leaving Barcelona.
The 18-year-old striker broke several goal records while at La Masia before moving to Juventus in 2018 with a transfer value of € 700,000.
He has proven his capacity as a player capable of occupying several positions besides the striker, namely the attacking midfielder, and has scored more than 200 goals at the junior level for Barcelona.
Moreno scored four goals in three UEFA Youth League matches in addition to being summoned by Massimiliano Allegri into the main Juventus squad, although he was only a reserve player in last season’s Serie A match against Genoa. However, he failed to penetrate the first team directed by Maurizio Sarri this season.
On the international scene, he has strengthened Spain’s U-18s and is a member of the squad that competed at Euro U-17 and U-17 World Cups.
Correia, meanwhile, is part of the Portugal Under-19 squad, and has been at City since 2019. The 19-year-old striker initially joined Sporting CP before serving this season as a loan player at AZ Alkmaar.
He made 23 appearances for the Dutch Eredivisie club’s U21 team, scoring three goals and five assists throughout the 2019/20 campaign.
