Juventus sporting director Marco Ottolini and technical director Ricky Massara were present for Monday's Serie C meeting between Juventus Next Gen and Renate. According to reports in Italy, their visit provided an opportunity to assess young prospects, including the highly rated left-footed centre-back.
Viganò, born in 2008, is regarded as one of the promising young defenders in his division. His age and potential make him an attractive long-term prospect for clubs looking to strengthen their youth development programmes.
The defender did not come off the bench in the match, which Juventus Next Gen won, but his absence from the pitch did not prevent the visiting directors from assessing his prospects.
Atalanta have already attempted to sign Viganò, according to reports, having approached Renate during the summer. The Lombardy club rejected those advances, but Atalanta are expected to remain interested in bringing him into their development structure.
Sassuolo are also monitoring the situation, while several Serie B clubs have reportedly been following the youngster. Juventus therefore face competition if they decide to turn their interest into a formal move.
Renate's decision to retain Viganò during the previous transfer window indicates that the club value his development and are not prepared to let him leave without considering their own sporting interests.
His profile is particularly appealing because left-footed central defenders can offer tactical balance when building from the back. At his age, however, the priority for any prospective move would be to provide a pathway towards regular senior football rather than simply add another name to a squad.
Juventus have continued to invest attention in young players, and the presence of senior recruitment figures at the Renate fixture underlines the importance they place on identifying prospects before they reach the highest level.
The same match also offered an opportunity to watch Juventus Next Gen forward Arman Durmisi, who scored twice in the victory. The Albanian youngster has already attracted attention within the club and recently signed a contract extension until 2028.
For Viganò, the interest from Juventus, Atalanta and Sassuolo represents an encouraging sign of his progress. No agreement has been announced, however, and Renate retain control over his immediate future as the clubs assess whether to pursue a deal.
