Several Serie A teams have been linked with one of the most talented youngsters in the Italian Serie B.

According to several reports, Juventus  and AC Milan are expected to keep a close eye on Stefano Sensi's situation. The 20-year-old midfielder has been one of Cesena's brightest spots in the Serie B this season and he's expected to eventually move to the Serie A in the near future. Both afromentioned sides have been scouting him in recent months and there's buzz that there could even be a move for him during the upcoming January transfer window.

Fiorentina also in the running

La Nazione, however, has indicated that Fiorentina is also keen to join the race for the talented player. The Artemio Franchi side plan on beating off competition from both The Old Lady and the Rossoneri by offering Ante Rebic on loan to Cesena. The Croatian striker has already featured 10 times for his country but this season he's often found himself on the sidelines due to the quality attacking options Paulo Sousa currently possesses.

If the loan is confirmed, then the 22-year-old would be given more opportunity to develop at the Serie B side coached by Massimo Drago and maybe in the near future he could return and make a bigger impact for Fiorentina where his pace and talent in the final third could be welcomed, but he certainly needs more time to develop and Fiorentina is simply not able to offer him minutes at this point.

A youngster loaded with potential

The 20-year-old Sensi has enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks. After being held as one of Cesena's top players from the youth side, he spent two years on loan at San Marino Calcio before finally making his debut with the senior side on August 20th this year. He has also represented Italy at both the U17 and the U20 levels.
