Juventus are eyeing a move for Sevilla midfielder Steven N'Zonzi.

La Stampa says Juve are in talks with Sevilla for the former Stoke City star.

However, Sevilla's €40 million asking price is proving too steep for the Bianconeri.

Negotiations between the two clubs will continue this week as N'Zonzi is a personal request of coach Max Allegri.

Allegri made the demand of a box-to-box midfielder before inking fresh terms to 2020 last week.
