Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara wants to bring Napoli defender Fabiano Santacroce to Turin.

Ferrara worked with Santacroce with the Italy U21 setup and the player's agent, Antonio Dell'Aglio, said: "We cannot be hypocrites, we hear these rumours and certainly the interest of Juventus is welcome.

"Playing in Turin with the Bianconeri jersey would be an idea to be taken seriously."

Dell'Aglio says Santacroce could be on the move after Napoli snapped up Sampdoria defender Hugo Campagnaro last week.
