Juventus are considering a move for Roma striker Mattia Destro but it is believed that both he and Adem Ljajic want to stay with the Giallorossi.

Speculation has linked the Italian international with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico this summer, and it is rumoured that he even rejected an offer from German side Wolfsburg last week.

Corriere della Sera suggests that the Old Lady may be ready to make a move for the 23-year-old in a bid to complete their attack for the upcoming campaign.

The Bianconeri have already signed Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid but could move for the former Genoa man, who scored 13 goals in 20 appearances last season, to further help fill the gap left by the departed Mirko Vucinic, Fabio Quagliarella and Pablo Osvaldo.

It is believed that the player is hoping to convince coach Rudi Garcia and the Roma fans that he should stay with the Giallorossi, as does teammate Adem Ljajic.

The 22-year-old Serbian international could reportedly be tempted by interest from La Liga champions Atletico Madrid but for now his agent, Fali Ramadani, has closed a door on a transfer as the player wants to stay and fight for his place at Roma.
