The midfielder has made 13 appearances for the Rossoblu's Primavera side so far this season, scoring three goals in the process.
Verona will be reluctant to lose the 17-year-old before he has had a chance to make a first team impact.
However, with interest from Liverpool and Manchester City, the Serie A outfit may have a fight on their hands for Fares sooner rather than later.
