Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed an interest in signing former Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder.

Speculation is rife that Allegri will sign the Netherlands international this month, despite the 30-year-old's agent recently stating that a stay at Galatasaray was probable.

"About Sneijder, let's see if he comes before speculating on where he'll play. For the moment he's still a player with Galatasaray," he told reporters.

"The objective for Juventus has to be that of improving the team. And to improve on the technical level we must get players who are, qualitatively speaking, at the same level as those we already have, or even better.

"I think this team has the possibility of improving, regardless of the characteristics of the players. Sneijder of course has some great technical qualities and he's proven that over his career. He'd be completing a strong midfield, which would also create competition in that department, and that's important."

Sneijder, who helped Inter to Champions League glory in 2010, is contracted to the Turkish giants until 2016.
