Juventus GM Beppe Marotta has admitted interest in Schalke fullback Sead Kolasinac.

He could arrive as a free agent over the summer, but Juve are eager to snap him up earlier if Patrice Evra leaves for Valencia.

“We like Kolasinac, he is an option," Marotta said.

“He is an opportunity, as he'll be out of contract soon. However, he is being monitored by other clubs as well.

“We are evaluating the idea of signing him. We'll see."
