Boca Barco president Enzo Guerri has revealed how Amad Diallo has major clubs wanting to sign him as a junior.

Diallo left Atalanta yesterday for Manchester United.

"Atalanta was certainly not the only one to put him in the crosshairs," Guerri told Tuttomercatoweb. "There was a line of observers to see Diallo, they came to our field from all over Italy.

"Amad made three auditions in Turin with Juve, and was called by Reggiana, Sassuolo, Empoli, Rome and, in fact, Atalanta.

"He tried them all until he found the right place for the big jump. Not surprisingly, he became the first scorer in our Serie A class of 2002 in the Nerazzurri."

But one particular anecdote from Guerri on the visit of a Roma scout proves United have some player on their hands.

"I remember a very funny act drop with a Roma observer," he said.

"He came to see him in a match and, after a stop aimed at the chest by Diallo at 5' [minutes], he turned his back to the field and went away.

"I immediately asked him for an explanation and he answered me: 'Things like that, at the age of 12, only potential champions do. Seeing him in this match is of little use, take him to Rome to train with our team'.

"At Atalanta, however, they made him play from day one with the boys older than a year. In short, Amad has always been predestined."
