Juventus are interested in the development of Monza forward Gustavo Varela and have joined fellow Italian clubs Napoli, AC Milan, and Inter Milan in monitoring the 21-year-old. The Portuguese striker has received increasing attention after scoring nine goals in his first nine Serie A starts since his move from Benfica in July 2026. Tottenham and Chelsea were among a number of Premier League clubs that sent representatives to watch Varela in Italy on Saturday. Newcastle United, Brighton, Brentford, and Fulham were also in attendance. It has also been confirmed that scouts from RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, and Atletico Madrid were present at the game. It is also understood that Arsenal have been impressed by the forward. Varela has a contract with Monza until June 2030 and has scored four goals in seven appearances for Portugal's U21 team. The fee for his transfer from Benfica II to Monza was reportedly between €2.5 million and €3.5 million. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €5.0M. According to multiple reports from Italian media in October 2026, the player was valued at approximately €15 million. During the same period, there were conflicting reports regarding a potential buy-back clause for his former club, Benfica, valued between €9.5 million and €10 million.
