PSV Eindhoven right-back Santiago Arias has welcomed rumours linking him with Juventus.

Arias is interesting Juve as an alternative to Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian.

“I read that too, but to be honest, when it was written that I was in Turin, I was still in Holland," he told Gazzetta dello Sport after Colombia's friendly game against Egypt.

“I don't know what will happen with my future, as I have no news right now. Of course, it'd be a dream to play for Juve…"

Bianconeri director of sport Fabio Paratici was in the stands to view that Colombia match and is ready to go for Arias as a replacement for Stephan Lichtsteiner.
