Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain identified the goalkeeper as the perfect signing. According to\u00a0<em>Calcio Mercato<\/em>, the youngster is interested in a move. Most young Italian goalkeepers see Buffon as their idol. Russo could be willing to move to PSG to play with the World-Cup winner. The Parisians are able to attract Russo with an offer worth a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>Juventus also have a plan to lure the 2001-born goalkeeper to the club. Russo could be willing to stay in Italy and build a legacy in Turin. As he is labelled the &#8216;next Buffon&#8217;, he could join the reigning Italian champions in order to follow his idol&#8217;s footsteps. Russo is a great goalkeeper, contrary to his statistics.<\/p>\n<p>Alessandro Russo has conceded 23 goals in only 13 games in the Italian U19 league. However, his performances show what the stats don&#8217;t. He is a very trustable player. Until now, the level of interest shown from both the Italian champions and the French champions is unknown. Many expect Russo to leave Genoa in search of a better club. If he isn&#8217;t offered a contract with the senior squad soon, the star could leave. The Italian football community is expecting to see Russo as a future national team player. He could become one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"QKSh-J_nTTpycE-R65ofJA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/959870528\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'QKSh-J_nTTpycE-R65ofJA',sig:'Rrfyu1Po7nkk-loHMCUNmFEZFIJ7GtepeEhHLBOqeq4=',w:'594px',h:'425px',items:'959870528',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the moment, the future of Italian goalkeeping is with Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
