Stoke City are preparing a £12million offer for Mario Lemina, according to reports.
The Guardian suggests that Mark Hughes' Potters are extremely keen on the Juventus midfielder and ready to splash the cash in order to lure him to the Britannia Stadium.
Gabon international Lemina, 22, only joined the Italian champions permanently from Marseille in a £7.5m deal in April - having spent last season on loan in Turin - but could quite possibly be on his way out the exit door if the Bianconeri are interested in offloading.
Leicester City were interested in Lemina earlier in the transfer window, before they signed Nampalys Mendy from Nice, and now Stoke have made him a priority signing after seeing an opening when Juventus completed the transfer of Miralem Pjanic from Roma.
