Juventus have joined the race for Sampdoria midfielder Roberto Soriano.
Soriano came close to joining Napoli in August and remains on the Azzurri radar.
Tuttosport says Juve GM Beppe Marotta is also keen and ready to compete for Soriano's signature in January.
Juve football director Fabio Paratici and Samp counterpart Carlo Osti have a good relationship and the outline of a fee has already been struck.
Samp are willing to sell Soriano to Juve for around €20 million, though would prefer to do business in June rather than January.
