# Chelsea: Juventus interested in Callum Hudson-Odoi

**Maurizio Sarri is reportedly eyeing up a reunion with Callum Hudson-Odoi at Juventus.**

The Italian left Chelsea for the Serie A outfit last month and, [according to Tuttosport (via The Sun), he is keen on bringing the 18-year-old to the Allianz Stadium when his contract is up](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9428757/hudson-odoi-juventus-sarri-chelsea-contract-free-transfer/).

Hudson-Odoi’s current deal expires next summer, [though Chelsea are said to be confident about securing their academy product’s future for another five years](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/07/02/ruben-loftus-cheek-agrees-new-long-term-chelsea-contract/).

If not, though, it appears Juventus could be the latest team to register serious interest in Hudson-Odoi [following Bayern Munich’s public pursuit which stretches back to January](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea/callum-hudsonodoi-latest-chelsea-angered-by-bayern-munich-chief-over-public-transfer-pursuit-a4040616.html).

Having constantly been overlooked by Sarri during his short time at Chelsea, it is hard to see this one happening. [Last season, Hudson-Odoi made just four starts in the Premier League (as per WhoScored)](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/350088/Show/Callum-Hudson-Odoi), [with his first in English football’s top flight not coming until April](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Hudson-Odoi+makes+first+Premier+League).

His overall handling of the teenage winger ultimately drew criticism, with Jamie Carragher blasting Sarri following the comments he made about not watching Hudson-Odoi’s England debut back in March.

“You could argue Sarri is watching a lot of his Chelsea team-mates, flicking the channels, but he doesn’t need to watch them, they are all 27, 28, 29. This is a young kid. Can he handle the spotlight of playing for England? This is a lad I’m trying to keep at my club,” [Carragher said on Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/11680451/maurizio-sarris-comments-on-callum-hudson-odoi-criticised-by-jamie-carragher).

“So to then just dismiss this lad’s international debut – maybe the biggest thing that’s ever happened to him as a footballer – I can just imagine the people above Sarri just shaking their head\[s\].”

Factor in some of the quality attackers Juventus already have out wide such as Douglas Costa and Federico Bernardeschi and this idea looks like even more of a no-go.
