Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri admits he's keen on Bayern Munich attacker Douglas Costa.

Juve are making a move for the Brazil international this week.

Allegri confirmed: “He is one of our objectives and he is very talented."

Asked about personally requesting Steven N'Zonzi from Sevilla, he added: “I don't make requests. I speak to the club and there are players who might be on the market who we seek out if they can improve the squad. But these are absolutely not requests, because not all players can come to Juventus.

“Patrik Schick (of Sampdoria) isn't a Juventus player yet, so we shouldn't talk about him, but he is a player who doesn't do normal things."
