Metz defender Lenny Lacroix is interesting Juventus and Barcelona.

Both have made an offer of a professional contract to the young defender, says Sport.

Lacroix is an U17 international with France and is training with the Metz first team, even though he hasn't signed an official contract yet. That is partly why so many sides are ready to do battle for him.

Lacroiz's exit would be bad news for the French club who have lost Manuel Cabit to injury after a grave traffic accident with his team-mate Kevin N'Doram. If Lacroix arrives it could be the end for Jean-Clair Todibo at Barca.
