The 18-year-old, who has signed a five-year contract with Juventus, will stay on loan for the rest of the season with Delfino Pescara 1936.

Mandragora, one of the brightest young prospects in Italian football, has made 16 appearances in Serie B for Pescara.

"Mandragora ... is doing well at Pescara, he has many margins for improvement because he has good qualities," Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri told a news conference on Tuesday.
