Juventus are thrashing out terms with Eintracht Frankfurt over teenage defender Marc Oliver Kempf.
Juve are attempting to take Kempf, 18, on a season-long loan with the view to a permanent deal in June.
However, Eintracht Frankfurt are reluctant to lose Kempf this month.
Juve, meanwhile, will face competition from Borussia Dortmund should Eintracht Frankfurt management cave in.
