Tuttosport says the Spain international's name was discussed at yesterday's transfer meeting in Turin.

Senna is seen as an alternative to No1 midfield target Marek Hamsik. The Napoli youngster has been made Juve's top choice, but directors know a deal is unlikely - even if they throw in the permanent signings of Manuele Blasi and Marcelo Zalayeta in part-exchange.

Juve are convinced they can sign Brazil-born Senna for £7 million.
