Juventus have reportedly joined a list of clubs including Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur interested in signing Palmeiras youngster Gabriel Menino.

The 20-year-old's attributes, including driving runs from midfield and box-to-box displays, have led him to earning comparisons with former Barcelona and Manchester City man Yaya Toure.

It is believed that the midfielder currently has a release clause of €60m (£51.2m), yet Mundo Deportivo reports that Palmeiras may be willing to accept a bid in the region of £13m to £17m due to their current financial situation.

The Palmeiras midfielder has already attracted interest from numerous clubs including London sides Chelsea and Tottenham, while Spanish giants Atletico Madrid are also very keen on signing him.

Italian champions Juventus have now reportedly joined the race for the Brazilian too, and will look to use players such as Cristiano Ronaldo to attract Menino to Turin.

Menino is yet to make his first-team Brazil debut but has registered seven appearances for Brazil's Under-20s.
