Tutu: Juventus is paying attention to 18-year-old Finnish midfielder Hiltanen, and Leverkusen is also interested in the player

According to Tuttosport, Juventus is paying attention to 18-year-old Finnish midfielder Matthias Hiltanen.

While Juventus is working hard to find immediate combat capabilities in the midfield, it is also considering future candidates for this position. "Torino Sport" said that Juventus has joined the competition for Matthias Hirtanen. This 18-year-old defensive midfielder is considered the most promising talent in Finnish football. He joined the Swedish team Jurgaden in January this year. He will play 26 times in the Swedish Super League and assist 3 times in the 2025 season. He is currently a member of the Finnish U21 national team.

Matthias Hirtanen is good at creating opportunities, taking responsibility, and effectively controlling the rhythm of the game. In addition to Juventus, there are several clubs paying attention to Matthias Hirtanen, among which Bayer Leverkusen is the most likely. They are always interested in young players.

Jurgarden club sold young midfielder Bergerval to Tottenham for 20 million euros last summer, and now they hope that Matthias Hirtanen can sell for a similar price. However, this will only be possible if multiple clubs participate in the bidding. Juventus does not want to compete on price, they hope to persuade players to join in different ways.

Matthias Hirtanen's current contract expires at the end of 2027. His performance, character, and leadership skills have proven that he has the ability to reach a new level. "Torino Sport" pointed out that investing in Matthias Hirtanen cannot be said to be a risk, but a controllable risk. However, if Juventus signs him, he may be tested first in the B team.
