Empoli president Fabrizio Corsi has confirmed Juventus' interest in Riccardo Saponara.

The midfielder has rebuilt his career at Empoli after a difficult spell with AC Milan.

Saponara is being courted by major clubs from across Europe and Corsi admits Juve are among the suitors.

"Juve? We say that Juve had words of appreciation for him and for us: we have been complimented when we brought him back from Milan, certainly they like him very much.

"Let's see if in June this will turn into something concrete. Sure, Juve consider him and we enjoy him," Corsi told Calciomercato.com.
