Italian giants Juventus have scouted 1. FC Köln defender David Fürst on more than once occasion, according to Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger.
Scouts from the Bianconeri watched Fürst as recently as Sunday, during their 3-2 defeat against Wolfsburg in the DFB Junioren Pokal in which the German scored a spectacular goal to put his side in the lead, before losing in extra-time.
With a contract that expires in the summer, KSA report that the player’s future remains uncertain. He impressed against FC Midtjylland and Inter Milan in this season’s UEFA Youth League, and was also awarded a place in Köln’s matchday squad against VfB Stuttgart, although he didn’t feature.
The 18-year-old has since represented the FC Köln II in the Regionalliga (fourth tier), playing the full 90 minutes against Rhein rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Additionally, KSA note that Fürst’s path to the first team is a difficult one with Sebastian Sebulonsen, Jan Thielmann, Tom Kraus, Alessio Castro-Montes and Cenny Neumann all ahead of the youngster at right-back – and so his future could be away from the RheinEnergieStadion.
