Juventus chiefs are seeking an outside sponsor to boost their chances of winning the race for Internacional striker Leandro Damiao.

The Brazil international is the subject of interest from Ukraine and Russia, but Juve hope to still land Damiao ahead of the January market with the help of a sponsor.

Turin sources say FIAT are a prime candidate to bankroll a deal for Damiao, though Nike could also be tapped for extra funds by Juve directors.
