Juventus are among several clubs keeping tabs on Cher Ndour after the Fiorentina midfielder fired Italy’s Under-21s to the European Championship.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Bianconeri see the 22-year-old as one of the leading names on their midfield shortlist, as they push to bring more Italians into the squad.

Ndour captained Silvio Baldini’s side in Monday’s 6-2 win over Poland in Pescara. He scored twice, including a strike from inside his own half, to secure direct qualification for the 2027 tournament in Albania and Serbia.

Fiorentina take a hard stance on Ndour

Fiorentina signed him from Paris Saint-Germain in early 2025 for €5m, with the French club keeping a 50 per cent sell-on clause. Sporting director Fabio Paratici then made him the only untouchable player in the squad this summer.

His minutes show how highly he is rated. Among outfield players, only Radu Dragusin has played more for the Viola this season, and only by five minutes.

Ndour wasted no time switching his focus back to club duty ahead of Saturday’s trip to Genoa.

“I’m going back to Florence tonight because on Saturday we have a hugely important game for us. We need to climb back up as soon as possible,” he said in the mixed zone.
