Juventus are readying a major bid for Marouane Fellaini.

The Sun says Juve have made Fellaini one of their top targets as they look to bolster their midfield.

Blaise Matuidi is still the Bianconeri's first choice and reports in Italy suggest a deal with the current Paris Saint-Germain man could be reached by the weekend.

But, Juve also want a tall and physically strong midfielder.

Reported interest from Galatasaray led Jose Mourinho to admit it would be easier for a club to sign him than it would be the Belgian.

However, Juventus are hopeful Nemanja Matic's impressive start to life at Manchester United may see the 'Special One' soften his stance.

And should they complete a deal for Matuidi, they would only be willing to pay around £22.5million to sign Fellaini.
