Juventus have identified Manchester United fullback Matteo Darmian as a January transfer target.

Tuttosport says Juve coach Max Allegri, despite the arrival of Daniel Alves from Barcelona, feels his squad remains a right-back short.

And Juve are prepared to meet his request for a new fullback signing in January.

The two players on their shortlist are Darmian and AC Milan defender Matteo de Sciglio.

Juve intermediaries are convinced Darmian will become available in January.
