Juventus continues to show interest in acquiring Charlie Patino, and this interest may be linked to their preparations for potential departures from their key midfield positions.
The Italian giants are in need of new midfielders, having lost two crucial members of that position at the beginning of the season. Additionally, there’s a possibility of further player exits in the summer, with Adrien Rabiot expected to leave the club when his contract expires.
Patino, one of Arsenal’s top young talents, is currently on loan at Swansea City in the Championship, where he has become a key player. His impressive performances have attracted attention from several teams across Europe, including Juventus.
Market intermediary Michele Fratini has now indicated that Juventus could be considering signing Patino as a replacement for the outgoing Adrien Rabiot. This suggests that Patino is viewed as a promising prospect capable of contributing to Juventus’ midfield in the future.
Fratini said, as quoted by Tuttojuve:
“Patino? He’s kind of in everyone’s notebook, among the 50 strongest youngsters in the world. I don’t know if Rabiot will stay at Juve. Patino is left-footed like him and Giuntoli wants to bring the strongest talents around to give quality in the midfield. As for the price, the Gunners are asking for around €30m, maybe €20m fixed with €10m in bonuses.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Patino has been one of our finest youngsters in the last few terms and the game time he is getting from spending time away on loan is fast-tracking his development.
Selling him to Juventus could raise good cash for us and ensure we can add our own targets to the group.

Patino is a better player than Vieira in my opinion and is more likely to develop into an effective central midfielder rather than an AM.Given the dearth of left footed central midfielders I think we ought to give him the opportunity to perform in the EPL next season when Partey, Jorjinho and Elneny are likely to have moved on.
The old lady has always shown an interest in our players, but she’s too stingy to be taken seriously
He must be something special if Juventus are comparing him to Rabiot. I think there should only be one place for him next season…in our 25 man squad, and possibly even as a first choice.
Perhaps I’m getting over excited about him being a “first choice”😜
You are lol
I’ve watched plenty of highlights of him many times over the past two years, and I struggle to see him in our first team at this time. Maybe I’m missing something, or maybe it’s just a matter of time, but he really doesn’t look ready to play for arsenal me. There’s always been talk about his potential, and maybe it’s just a matter of time, but the younger Nwaneri, who plays a similar position (I know patino has played in a deeper role at times) already looks closer to being ready for our first team imo – of the two, my money would be on Nwaneri making it at arsenal, so I wouldn’t have a problem with us selling patino now.
What is wrong with arsenal players market valuation
What could be Patino price if he was a Juve player as he is compared to Rabiot?
Arsenal should give this boy a chance to show his potential like Saka as there is room in the squad with the departure of Partey Jorgi and Elneni
Maybe Arsenal should do a loan deal with Juventus next season , without an option to buy ( just an idea ) . If Juventus rate Charlie Patino that highly , they could try him in their team and its a Win Win for Arsenal .
Patina gets valuable European experience and if he does well ( which I think he will ) , Arsenal get the choice to bring back into team or sell him to Juventus at a much higher price …… remember William Saliba
