The agent of Genoa defender Andrea Ranocchia admits bigger clubs are watching the youngster.

Ranocchia is currently on-loan at Bari and is being linked with Juventus. His agent, Tullio Tinti, told calciomercato.com: "Juve? It seems a bit premature to talk about them now, I personally do not know anything, but something may happen.

"And it's normal that big clubs are interested. In the past, I have spoken to AC Milan many times about him."
