Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta has revealed that the club are interested in signing Pablo Osvaldo before the end of the January transfer window.

The Italian striker is currently serving a two-week suspension imposed on him by Southampton for a training ground bust-up with his teammate Jose Fonte last week.

"We like Osvaldo and other clubs like him too," Marotta told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "He is an excellent player, but before buying anyone we need to sell."

Osvaldo joined Southampton from Roma last summer.
