Reports in Italy suggest that Juventus are interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

La Repubblica claims that the Spain international is the priority target for Juve this month, and that the Serie A club would be willing to offer €40m (£28.4m) to Real for his signature.

The Juventus hierarchy are said to be seeking new recruits for Massimiliano Allegri's midfield, and hope that the 23-year-old's lack of a guaranteed starting position at the Bernabeu could persuade him to move to Turin.

Isco joined Real Madrid from Malaga in 2013 and has since scored 17 goals in 106 appearances.

Julian Draxler, Christian Eriksen, Ramires and Ilkay Gundogan have also been touted as potential midfield targets for Juventus.
