Juventus are turning to Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic in the search to boost their engineroom.

Sky Italia says Juve are ready to bid for the Serb after finding negotiations difficult with Liverpool over Emre Can.

The Reds are now reluctant to consider Can's departure after allowing Lucas Leiva to join Lazio.

Instead, Juve are moving for Matic, who has been left in London to negotiate a move away while the rest of the squad leave for their overseas preseason tour.

Matic is also interesting Manchester United.
