Empoli take Juve starlet Pasquato
Sunday 24 August, 2008
Juventus prodigy Christian Pasquato has joined Serie B side Empoli, following in the footsteps of Sebastian Giovinco.
The teenage star striker of the Primavera youth team is loaned out to the Stadio Castellani side with an option to buy up half his contract at the end of the season.
This month Pasquato hit the headlines when he scored in Juve's 4-1 Trofeo Berlusconi defeat to Milan at San Siro.
He also netted six of their eight goals in yesterday's traditional Juventus A vs B team, which is when Coach Claudio Ranieri confirmed the 19-year-old would be farmed out.
“Pasquato proved that he is a step above the others his age and would just be wasted by spending another year in the youth team.
“It is only right he goes out to gain experience, as he has what it takes to be a very important player.”
Pasquato follows in the path of Giovinco, who was also loaned to Empoli last season and is now back in Turin.
